Sept. 10 Weekly Note

I hope that all of you had a relaxing weekend. I believe I have everything now for school. I know that some of you still need to get the earthquake kit into me. I will take them any time.

This week we will read the story The Wheels on the Bus which is illustrated by Ilene Richard. Along with discussing the story, we will work with the letters T, B, R, Y and G. As you know, I am briefly touching upon the letters. Once we have been through them all, we will start the process of blending. In math, we are learning the numbers one through nine. We will do some listening activities with the numbers that will also benefit the children. For circle time, we will start a unit on community helpers. Our Bible lessons we be “God Saves Noah and His Family” and “God Watches over the People at Babel.” >From these lessons we will learn how God rules the earth and the nations of the earth.

Today, your child received a hearing test. If the nurses found anything of concern, you will be contacted. Consider no news as good news. If you have any questions, please contact the office.

I have been communicating with the hot lunch lady and I have indicated that the portions are too large for the children. I know that she is going to try to work something out for our school. I don’t know what the remedy will be, but I will keep you posted. If you do want to order hot lunch, I am asking you to please fill out the slips which I have enclosed with this note. It helps with the confusion at lunch time. Thank you for your help in this matter.

As I have been reminding you, we will have the opportunity to sing on September 23 in the late service. Please keep that date open.

I am enclosing another note concerning box tops. We have a friendly competition here at school where we try to collect the most box tops. If you would like to order books from this order, you will collect some more box tops. This is not a mandatory thing. I am only giving you the opportunity. I will send home other book orders later on in the quarter. Feel free to do whatever works for you.

This Friday, we will have our first collaboration day. That means all classes will dismiss at noon. If you will not be here by then, I will check your child into homeroom.

I believe that we are off to a great start this year. Have a good week!
