NO SCHOOL MONDAY SEPTEMBER 5TH !!!!!

We hope you all enjoy a lovely and fun-filled three day weekend!  Here’s to a great short week!  Here’s what’s coming up for next week.

·        Our theme this week is Patterns, and our new word wall word is “the.”  So far, we know the following High Frequency Words: I, a, & see.

·        Parent volunteers have started!!!!  If you have signed up to come in to volunteer for center time, please COME IN!  We would love to have our volunteers come from 8:15 – 10 am for the morning session, and 11:45-1:20 pm for the afternoon session.  Please check in with the office and get your volunteer badge, and come in through our back doors!  Thank you!!!!!! 

·        Our Homework this week continues to be handwriting!  There are only three pages because of our short week.  ALL of us need extra help in writing our names.  Please have your child write THEIR OWN NAME at the top of each side of the homework pages.  Please don’t do it for them, and if you take the packet apart, please staple it back together before sending it back to school!  We will check and record your child’s work, but won’t be sending it back unless there is a problem.  Thank you! 

·        Writing—We have already jumped right into writing every day!  We are expecting your child to know the words “I, see & a.” Please encourage them to write those every day.  You can even start writing simple sentences such as, “I see a ____.” You can stretch out the sounds of the I word or draw a picture.  Daily writing practice helps tremendously!

·        Thank you all for attending BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT!  We still are in NEED of parent volunteers each day.  We all had very few parents sign up for daily volunteering.  If you are considering helping out during center time, we’d love to have you.  This is our sacred time to work closely with small groups of kids to teach reading, while parents monitor our center groups.  This is essential to our success!!  If you are able, please consider coming in!  Thank you!!!!!
 
·        PLEASE complete and return the red emergency cards  if you have not already done so. Thank you.

·        We have three field trips scheduled at this time. More will be added as they can be arranged.
October 26th – Silveyville Pumpkin Patch in Dixon
November 18th – Theatre in Vacaville
May 2nd – Farm in Vallejo
      If you plan on driving please fill out the insurance forms    
located in the office. You will also need to be    fingerprinted if you did not do this at back to school night. You can make an appt at district office.
  
·        Birthdays… We have had several birthdays already.  Feel free to send in a healthy birthday snack to share with the class.  There are several fun things to share on the list, like Rice Krispy Treats!  If you would like to donate a hardcover book to the classroom, which then goes to our Mundy library at the end of the school year, please do so.  The kids love to see their Kindergarten birthday books when they are older!

·        One last reminder:  Please LABEL EVERYTHING, with a black Sharpie pen that your child could not possibly take off or put down.  Do not allow your child to bring toys to school. We know they are very precious to them and we don’t want them to get lost or broken.

Thank you again for all that you do at home to support your child’s learning.  We appreciate all that you do!  Please feel free to email with any concerns or questions!  Thank you!!
