Dear Families,
It is hard to believe that our first week is almost over. The children have accomplished a great deal already in just a few days. They have been to music, art, and gym, as well as had their first Spanish class. In the classroom, we began talking about our hopes and dreams for the year ahead. Reading workshop begins this afternoon and tomorrow we will begin our science unit on trees.
Here are some helpful hints and reminders:
*Please be sure to communicate with us regarding how your child is getting home each day: email, a phone call or message, or pop in and let us know.
*We talked with the class about sharing today and want to reiterate that toys from home are not allowed at school. We are working to promote independence and engagement while taking care of our classroom.
*No school on Monday, September 14.
*Friday, September 18 is a pizza day, so make sure you have signed up with the office if you want your child to have pizza. If you prefer not, please send in a lunch as usual.
Special thanks to Natacha and Sarah for starting the lunch-bunch sign-up and being in touch with all of you. We greatly appreciate their efforts.
This group of children is off to a great start. We could not be happier with how hard they work and how well they treat each other.
