October

The month of October just flew by. I can't believe how fast this year is going. Soon it will be Thanksgiving break, Christmas, and then a brand new year. It is incredible how much your child has grown since the beginning of the year. I'm very proud of our progress.

The spelling test went very well on Friday. There were a few misspellings and switching of letters, but overall everyone did fantastically.

I have not received a breakfast or lunch menu as of yet. I will ask Ms. Shyger if she has received a new monthly calendar asap.

The Halloween party went very well. The kiddos had a great time. We had a ton of sweets. We had so much that we actually carried our Halloween festivities into this week. A big thank you to everyone that helped make our party so wonderful.

The Butterfly Garden

Our kids worked so hard in the butterfly garden at the beginning of October. They worked with the high school kids to create seed balls for planting around the lake. They also weeded the garden, planted small plants, and spread soil. The kindergarten classes have done a fantastic job. We are currently working on our vegetable garden. Our class has been stacking boxes, moving soil, cleaning out grass, and much more.

Grandparents' Day

We will have our Grandparents' Day breakfast on Thursday, September 7th. Hope to see you all there! Please sign and return your child's permission slip for VFW fingerprinting. If you need a new form, just send me a note and I'll get one to you. Thanks!

First Week

Yay! We survived our first full week. I am excited to say that we had a great first week. Thank you for all of your support. I appreciate it so much. Please begin to practice sight words with your child. The first five sight words is where we will start next week. We will begin to learn five at a time. Learning sight words allows your child to build their reading fluency. We will practice in the classroom, but continue practicing at home. The more exposure to the words is better for your child.

Thank you again!! See you all Monday!!

Graduation

 

Graduation is Thursday at 9 a.m. at the Junior High auditorium.  You can check your child out afterwards. Please return the gown before you leave with your child. I will have your child's official diploma. You will receive it when you sign your child out.

Missing Newsletter

I am sorry that I didn't send out a newsletter last week. We were so busy due to the book fair and concert that I was unable to get one out to you. Report cards were sent home Friday. If you have questions, please let me know. I would be happy to discuss the results with you.
