Friday Update August 15 to 19

What a fantastic first full week we have had!  We spent most of the time learning the routines of Pre-K; finding the bathroom, where to line up after recess, how to get to the cafeteria, where all the supplies belong and how to clean up the room! Your little ones did a great job. Our cuties probably went home really tired!  It takes awhile to get used to the day!
We have also spent a lot of time reading books together, singing, dancing, visiting Mango and Oreo Cookie, exploring the different areas of our hub and the big hall, and playing games.
There has been quite a few students out sick this week throughout SAS.  We hope that everyone who has been ill is h=back healthy and happy on Monday, and don’t forget to remind your kids about how important it is to cover their coughs and sneezes and wash their hands!                          
REMINDERS
* Don’t forget to check your child’s “zippy pouch” daily as it may contain important information.

*Please leave bus tags attached to backpacks.
*Lunch menus should be returned to school each week. 
*PHOTO DAY on WEDNESDAY!!!!  Have your child dressed for school photos this Wednesday, August 24th. (Free Dress-not uniform.)  The cuties have their photos taken at 9:30am, so they should still hopefully look similar to how they left you in the morning. J  Instructions to keep them looking darling are very welcome J 
*BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT on WEDNESDAY!!!  6:00 to 7:15
We start in the bottom level of the high school library for introductions to the entire ECC and short messages from our superintendent Dr. Chip Kimball and our ELC Deputy Principal Ms. Jo.  We will then walk back to our classroom where we will introduce each other to start building our classroom community and I will have you write a letter of inspiration for your child.  (I will explain that evening. J)


FRIDAY FOLDERS
Each Friday (except for today—still early) your child will bring home a Friday Folder (a blue bag).  It is your child’s “homework” to share the contents of the Friday Folder with you.  The contents usually spark a memory that will get your child talking about school. Enjoy sharing the contents, keep them at home (unless otherwise specified), and return the Friday Folder to school on Monday.  This way we can begin filling it again for the following week.  


A message from Manaswi, our ELC PTA Representative about becoming a room parent.  We would love to have you!! J

A brief description of room parent duties: 
Volunteering as a room parent is a great way to get involved and be a part of your child's school life! Room parents act as a liaison between the PTA, class teacher, and parents to help coordinate class-related activities, as well as PTA sponsored class parties and school-wide events throughout the year.

Have a fantastic weekend with your little ones!  We can’t wait to see them back here on Monday!!!!! J
