September 2nd Class Note

September 2, 2008


Dear Parents,
I hope all of you had a relaxing weekend. The first week of school was especially tough due to the heat. However, I did notice some very nice things happening. I was impressed as to how well the children welcomed the new students. I also thought they did a fine job of listening to me and Miss Beutel. I know things will just improve from this point. Thank you for your support as we start this school year.
This week we will work with the book Mary Wore Her Red Dress. We will also try to get familiar with the color words. I am sending home the words on flashcards. If you have time, please go through them so that your child starts to recognize the words by sight. In math, we will continue to introduce the children to different manipulatives used in the classroom. We will also learn to write the numbers one through zero. For circle time, we will go through more safety procedures here at school. Our Bible lessons will be “Jesus the Savior Is Born,” “The Shepherds Learn that Jesus Is Born,” and “The Wise Men.” From these lessons we will see how the Savior’s birth brought joy.
Our hot lunch program and our milk program will be starting this week. Please note that the milk will be served at 10:20 AM. During this time the children will be able to eat a light snack. At lunch time, they will need an extra drink unless you are ordering hot lunch. If you wanted to have your child receive hot lunch, but did not order ahead of time, you will have to pay extra. I will see how this goes during the week and then I will help you from that point. If you have further questions, please follow the links on our website.
On Thursday, September 4, we will have our vision screening. I will assume that no news is good news. If you have questions, call the office.
Some of the children still need their earthquake kits. Please try to get those in by Friday. Also, don’t forget the water bottles. We really need those during the warm days.
Again, we sing on September 28 at the late service. Please mark that date on your calendar.
Thank you for all of your hard week in getting prepared for school. I hope this week goes well for you.
Mrs. Kronebusch
