Classroom Book Club

Hello Families,

Our  classroom book club with start on October 1st.  I am in need of parent volunteers to help facilitate this book club.  They will be each Monday starting at 8:45 a.m. and go until about 9:30 a.m.  I try to do it as close to the beginning of the day so parents can drop off their children and stay at school.  Please let me know if you are interested in helping with this classroom event.  Please no younger siblings if possible.

Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you.

Native American Research Project: Due October 3, 2018

I will give your children the information for our first home project of the year tomorrow.

Native Americans occupied the Northern Hemisphere long before “America” was discovered. Who were the people who were the Native Americans? Where did they live? What did they eat? What customs did they observe?  “Who were the Native Americans?”  These are the questions your child explore as they do this project.  I have attached the project packet below for your information.

UPCOMING EVENTS

We had a wonderful week getting to know eachother, learning new math, language and social studies lessons.  There are a few upcoming events you will want to be aware of:

Sept. 13th – Back-to-School Night – 6 – 8 p.m. – I look forward to meeting new families and seeing old families.  I have been working hard preparing the upcoming field trip permission slips.  Please come sign them at Back-to-School Night and get this years flip book full of a lot of important information.

Sept. 21st 2018 – Field Trip to Freedom’s Light, Celebration of the Constitution – This permission slip was sent home last week.  Please send it back as soon as possible.  If you need another one have your child get one tomorrow at school.

We are in need of a small cordless stick vacuum for our classroom.  I tried to fix the one I purchased last year, but I could only get part of it to work. 🙁  If anyone has a way of purchasing one at a decent price please let me know.  It’s much easier for the children to restore after lunch and at the end of the day with a vacuum.

Thank you to our amazing families.  One family volunteered to take our broken vacuum home to try to fix.  Another family ordered one for our classroom.  THANK YOU for listenning to our classroom needs.  You are awesome!

Thank you,

Ms. Amy

 

Freedom’s Light Field Trip

Your child should have brought home a permission slip yesterday for you to sign for our upcoming field trip.  Please sign and return to school as soon as possible.

I will be giving a list of all the parent e-mails to my room mother,  if you do not want her to have your e-mail please let me know.  She arranges the transportation to and from most of our field trips.

If you did not receive a permission slip your child can get another one from me at school.

Thanks,

Amy
