Book of the Week/Unit: The Little Old Lady Who Wasn’t Afraid of Anything

Letter of the Week: Gg

Math: Equal Groups

In need of supplies:

• Plastic spoons

When playing games with your children at home, such as Candyland and Chutes and Ladders, please remember that while winning is fun, we need to learn how to lose also.  Always try to let your child win the first game and the last game.  It is important for you to win at least one game in between.  It is ok to beat your children at games.  That is how they learn to lose without having temper fits.

Full Day Parents:  Don’t forget to send in your letter pictures each week.  We use them here in the afternoons.  They are due on Thursdays but can be brought in any other day of the week.

Please remember to sign daily sheets and return.  We keep these on file for our reference/data.

Underwear:

• If your child is just beginning to transition from pull-ups to underwear, please make sure you send in multiple changes of clothes and an extra pair of shoes and socks.  Often times when accidents do happen, the socks and shoes get soaked as well.

Pull-Ups:                                                                            

• If your child requires pull-ups, please remember to send them in…

We are in need of a parent to volunteer to decorate our class pumpkin for Octoberfest!!!  If you would like or are willing to do this, please let us know.  We have the plastic pumpkin here waiting for you!!!

When playing games with your children at home, such as Candyland and Chutes and Ladders, please remember that while winning is fun, we need to learn how to lose also.  Always try to let your child win the first game and the last game.  It is important for you to win at least one game in between.  It is ok to beat your children at games.  That is how they learn to lose without having temper fits.

If your child buys lunch at school, do not forget to check their mealpay accounts regularly.  I am told the accounts are now set up for us where you can pay online.  If you would rather pay by check, please put it in your child’s folder and we will make sure it gets to the cafeteria.  If you are still having trouble with mealpay, let us know so we can get help from the cafeteria.

Information for the week of September 5 - 9, 2011

Reminder that there is no school on Monday September 5, 2011

Picture Day is Tuesday September 6, 2011. They are individual pictures only.  The class photo is taken in the spring.

PTA:  We are in need of a room rep for this year.  Lots of moms and dads volunteered for the Holiday and Year End Parties.  We need someone to be a room rep so that we know what we are supposed to do for PTA things.  Also, when we have not had representation at the room rep meetings in the past, our class has been left out of many activities that would have been fun.

We were left off the list for the Boosterthon this year.  We got all of our paperwork late.  This is one of the things that having a room rep would prevent. Please volunteer if you think you can make the time so that we are not forgotten again!!
