Weekly Note 8 24 08

August 25, 2008


Dear Parents,
Congratulations! We have made it to the beginning of the school year. I know that you and your child worked very hard to gather the supplies and to shop for the new outfits that were necessary for your growing youngster. I hope that this first day of school was fun for your child. It is always rather chaotic the first few days, but as we go along, we will fall into a routine. Let me know if you have any concerns.
This week we will be starting a general review of the letters. We will also work with the numbers in a brief and general way. During our circle time, we will talk about safety procedures here at school. Finally, we will have two Bible lessons to talk about. They will be “God’s Special Message for Mary” and “John the Baptist Is Born.” From these lessons we will learn that God prepared his people for the Savior’s coming.
As you will notice, I have sent many notices home. First of all, there is a schedule for you to keep. This will give you a general idea of what we do every day. Secondly, I am sending home a singing schedule. Our first singing opportunity will be September 28 in the late service. Please mark that on your calendars so that all of the children will be able to join us. The third item will be the milk order. If you want your child to have milk during September, please fill out the form. During this first week, no milk will be offered. It would be wise to send an extra drink for your child so that he or she consumes plenty of liquids especially on these hot days. Finally, I have a list of the dates for the “Keeping Our Kids Safe” presentation. Remember, if you have any intentions of coming on a field trip or helping in the classroom, you must take this course.
This Friday, I would like the children to bring in something to share. It could be photos of a summer vacation or anything that they would like to talk about. We want to get to know each other better and this gives your child an opportunity to do just that.
I hope today went well for you and your child. I am truly honored and blessed to have the opportunity to serve as their teacher. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for visiting with me prior to school.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Kronebusch
