Sept. 2nd-5th Newsletter

Here’s what’s coming up for this week... 

• Back to School Night is THIS WEDNESDAY from 5 – 
6pm. There will be a short presentation by our principal 
in the MPR (cafeteria) at 5, and then Kindergarten will 
have our presentation immediately after in the library. 
You will be welcome to tour your child’s classroom after 
the presentation in the library. Everyone must leave the 
campus at 6:00 unless you are staying for an upper 
grade sibling’s BTSN. We need to leave the campus to 
make room for the upper grade students parents to park. 
Thank you for your cooperation!

• Homework will come home every Monday and be due back to school every Friday. Your child should always complete their homework in pencil unless specifically asked to color something in crayon. Please do not return it to school earlier in the week. It will not be collected until Friday.

handwriting practice. We cannot stress enough the 
importance of proper formation for handwriting. We 
returned your child’s handwriting homework last week with

• This week we are working on the letters Gg, Hh, Ii. 
Here’s what you need to know about them:

the basement and give it a tail.
o To make an h—start at the top of the line, go 
straight down, don’t pick up your pencil, trace back 
up and give it one hump.
o To make an I—start at the top and make a tall man 
down, give it a hat and shoes. Lower case, make the 
line going down and then put the dot above it.

• Our new word wall word is the. We will introduce a new 
word wall each week that your child will be expected to 
learn and use. These are displayed in the classroom for

the following words: I, see, a, like & the.
