Dear Parents,
I hope all of you had a nice weekend. As the weeks of school come and go, I hope that you notice you are falling into a routine. We are here in the classroom. I know things will just get better and better as time goes by. Since we do have two weeks of school in already, I will be talking to you casually about how your child is fitting into the classroom. This will not be a formal meeting, but I want you to know what I have observed thus far. Please don’t be worried. This class has many positive things going for them and your child just adds his or her own spice to the mix.
This week we will read the book The Wheels on the Bus illustrated by Irene Richards. We will also work briefly with the letters T, B, R, Y, and G. Along with all of this, we will add the remaining color words to the ones that we sent home last week. Please review these words with your child. Even if you go through them once a day, that is excellent. Eventually, we will need to know the words by sight. Please keep these words in a special spot. If you have thrown the others away, let me know and I will get you a new set. For math, we will work with the numbers one through ten. During our circle time, we will talk about community helpers. Our Bible lessons will be “God Keeps Jesus Safe from Herod” and “Twelve Year Old Jesus.” From these lessons we will see how God cared for his special son.
Today, your child received a hearing screening. Again, if you did not get a notice, assume that everything was fine. The vision screening was cancelled last week. I guess the company that would have normally come, cancelled at the last moment. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
The children love to bring in sharing and it really is good for them to do so. I would ask that they bring in one item per week. They don’t have to bring it on Friday either. Whenever they have sharing, they should tell me at the beginning of the day so that I can allow enough time for them. If you have any questions, let me know.
The “Keeping Our Kids Safe” classes are coming to a close. Please
make sure that you attend one of them. The next class is tonight at 7:15 PM. Remember, you will not be allowed to accompany the children on the field trips unless you have this class. I believe there is one more class after that this week, but you will have to check the web page for the information.
The kindergarten children will be singing on September 28 in the late service. Please mark that date on your calendar.
I believe that is all. Have a great week!
Mrs. Kronebusch
