HIGHLIGHTS
This is our first full week of school. Hopefully, we will all be ready for it. Last week was a shock to all of us after a summer of fun and relaxation, but now to work. This week, we will be learning about the numbers 0 and 1. The letters b, d, j, k, & p with their sounds. The colors red and yellow. And the shapes square and circle. We will also be reading nursery rhymes. Rhyming is prerequisite to reading and we will spend some time with this.

“Let’s Find Out” Classroom Subscription
I had such a positive response to the classroom subscription magazine for the kids. We all want what is best for our children. Every one of you responded “yes” to ordering the “Let’s Find Out” subscriptions for the kids. I placed the order so we can get it in and use it as soon as possible. Thank you to all the parents who have already paid. I have about 5 parents who still need to pay me. If you could just send the $4.99 to school with your child that would be a big help. If you don’t remember if you paid, I can let you know what I have in my books. Again, thank you for your support!!!!
Scholastic Book Order
I am sending out the September Scholastic Book order. These monthly book orders are an inexpensive way to build up your child’s book collection. The books are on level with your child’s reading skills. Studies show that children that have access to books daily have more success with reading. I am a big believer of having books around always. We need to set our children up to succeed starting now in Kindergarten. Reading helps them to become life-long learners. That’s enough from me; I’ll get off my soapbox now. The order forms are due back September 11, 2009.
Just Remember………
Grab hold of a magic pencil
Open your eyes and mind
For now begins a journey
Of the most exciting kind.
A journey into learning
A step…a start…a glow,
And I will be there with you
To help and watch you grow.
……….You Are Important!
