September Parent Letter

SEPTEMBER
  • Thank you for providing these snacks. They are a wonderful way to learn about our world. They also help the children to feel involved and show their appreciation to others that bring the snack. Our Snack time is often used to reinforce our learning objectives here at school. Some days we set snack time up to be a tea party. This is also to teach them manners, pouring and passing.
      Please try to make the snack healthy. I have a list of snack ideas in the snack bag. Candy would not be appropriate for snack time. A snack could include some fruit, vegetable sticks, cheese sticks, crackers, pretzels or even sandwiches cut into fourths.

  • Scholastic book orders: I will always put the flyers for the book orders in their bag the first day of the month. In the parent letter, I will put the date the order is due back to school. You can now order online by just going to http://www.scholastic.com/parentordering.
    • Our class username and password will be given out on the book orders
  • September Topics: getting to know you, class rules (sharing & kindness), feelings.
    • Introducing Fall with science, art, music, colors & math

  • Special days: Johnny Appleseed day, First day of fall day, Blue day
  • Letters of the week
    • Aa: 9/2 – 9/9
    • Bb: 9/14-9/18
    • Cc: 9/28-10/2

  • Show 'N tell Fridays: bring something that starts with the letter of the week. Don’t forget your pictures for the journals!
