Hi everyone! This has been a "beary" fun week! :) This was teddy bear week, and we made brown bears, polar bears, and some bear headbands today. Today was our teddy bera picnic, where we ate PBJs with our bears outside!
Next week we will start our normal curriculum. We will be learning about the letter Ss and the word I. If you'd like to see what's coming up, check out the curriculum schedule on the website.
Reminders for this week:
--Wow! So many kids brought their homework back today! Great job! Make sure you sign the sheet in the front of the folder if your child did his homework. I have no way of checking the more "abstract" assignments, so I need you to sign saying that your child did those things that I can't see prove of. I will be checking the folders over the weekend and they will come back to you every Monday. This shoudn't be a problem because there is no homework on the weekends. Finally, just a reminder to please have your child stick to the calendar and not work ahead. Some of the activities cover things we have not learned yet, so I'd rather you do things on the assigned days.
--Just a reminder that fundraiser books or orders are due on Monday. If you are not planning on selling the books, please make sure you still send back the example book--these are not free! Thank you!
--We are doing a craft on Friday involving toilet paper rolls. Each child needs to bring in one empty toilet paper roll next week.
--Volunteers: Just a reminder that I would really prefer to not have younger siblings come along when you come in to help our class. It is a distraction to the other kids and it is difficult for the parents to give their full attention to the groups of students if they are taking care of other children as well. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but hopefully you understand! Thank you for your cooperation!
--Supply boxes: Last year my students had supply boxes for their pencils, crayons, etc., while all of the other kindergarten teachers used Ziploc bags for each student. They convinced me to try the bags this year, but it is already not working. The bags have holes in them and things are constantly getting lost. Therefore, I would like to go back to supply boxes. If you could send in a small art box (not the big ones!) with your child, I would really appreciate it. You do not need to write his/her name on it--I will do that as they are brought in so that all of the names can be found in the same spot. The good news is, they are very cheap now that it's not back to school time! Someone told me they saw them for 10 cents at Wal-Mart last week! If this is an issue or if you cannot send one in, please let me know as soon as possible. I would like to have all of the boxes in by Friday 9/17. Thank you!
Have a fantastic weekend and I'll see you Monday!
