Hi Parents,
Hope you are enjoying this perfect weather we have been having. As I mentioned in my newsletter, its too bad we didn't have more of this in July! I have been taking the students out as often as possible-we want to take advantage of this weather while we have it.
Thank you for helping your child with last night's homework- the poem activity paper. I will be assigning class poem papers about every 2 weeks throughout the school year. I have been doing this activity for several years and the students really seem to benefit from it. I will be compiling all the poems in the binders that I have asked you to send it. Please send one in when you are able to.
We started letter book O yesterday-when reviewing its sound with your child, remember we only learn the short o sound in Kindergarten( as in octopus, October,etc.) Homework for letter O will be sent home next week.
Picture day went well today-they all looked so nice!
I sent home a Scholastic book order form yesterday. I will be sending a form home every month throughout the school year, so don't feel obligated to purchase books each month.
I would appreciate all orders/money for this month's order to be brought in by this Friday, 9/11.
Friday is the 8th anniversary of 9/11. I will be doing a special art project in honor of this day.
This Friday is also group picture day. No gym uniforms are to be worn-only school uniforms.
Also, please do not have your child bring their gym uniforms to school-they'll still have gym in their school uniforms.
All Ladies Guild hot lunch order forms are due by this Friday.
Next week I will begin testing the students on their recognition of the color words: red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple, brown, black. Please take some time to review the words with your child. We will also begin working on our "Color words" booklet.
There are still some students who have not brought back their rest towels-please have your child bring one in.
Yesterday we celebrated Mary,( Jesus' mother's birthday). I made a cake and we all sang "Happy Birthday". The pictures that were posted turned out so nice. I especially like the one of Mary in front of the cake. She looks as if she is looking down at it-how cute!
Finally, the class is really doing quite well. We are progressing nicely in our letter books and Math booklets. There are a few students that are still having difficulty printing their names. If you see corrections that I have made with your child's name on their work, please have him/her practice printing it. If you need printing paper, please let me know and I will send some home in your child's folder.
I think we are expecting another gorgeous weekend ahead-enjoy!!!!
Have a good evening,
Mrs. Revis
