August 29, 2014
Dear Parents,
It was so wonderful seeing so many of you
Wednesday night! Thank you for
coming! I know you have had lots of
information thrown at you during the past few weeks. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you need any clarification.
The yellow starfish are doing a fabulous job,
are figuring out our routines, and are becoming pros! Here are some of the events this week.
Please take a few minutes to discuss them with your child. We…
*brainstormed lots of ways we can be KIND and
RESPECTFUL to our friends. (focus: friendship)
*graphed the number of letters in our classmates
names. (focus: graphing, more)
*learned the words and hand motions for Hello
Neighbor and decorated a copy for our Songs and Poems folder. Please have
your child teach you the hand motionsJ
*read the book “Who Stole the Cookies from the
Cookie jar, and made our own book.
*went to the “construction zone” block room and
built houses with blocks.
*decorated paper “friendship” dolls to look like
us! (focus: body awareness/friendship)
*were introduced to Pete the Cat and began a
review of our colors
A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK
Next week we will continue our theme of “About
Me”, this time focusing on ourselves and how we are alike and different from
our classmates. We will do some work with colors and we will also
introduce our first letter- Ss.
SONG
BOOKS!!!!
Your cutie’s Poem and Song book is coming home
in their blue Friday Folders today. Have
fun as they use their “magic music wand” to “read” the words and sing the songs
to you. You are encouraged to sing along
and help them at any point. This helps
with directionality for later reading, and even if your child is pointing no
where near the words on the page, encourage them on their amazing
singing!!! Please return the Poem and Song book AND the blue Friday
Folder to school on Monday.
HOMEWORK
In the zippy pouch today you will find your
child’s first “homework” assignment. Please take a few minutes this weekend to
find items for our color collages. The whole family is welcome to
help! Have funJ
REMINDERS
*Return
library book (in bags) on Monday. You will get a new one on Wednesday.
*FRIDAY FOLDERS
COMING HOME TODAY!!!! Please have your
child read their poetry and song book to you and return them on MONDAY.

*Check your “zippy pouch”
nightly as it often contains important information from school and then return
