Week of September 23, 2013

 

Dear Parents,

The children did very well on our “field trip” to Christ Presbyterian, our evacuation destination. They walked quickly and quietly . Before we left, we “hid” in Mrs. Tucker’s room. However, if we have to hide again, we will be going into the storage closet in our classroom. We all went in last week, and we do fit. Please continue to reassure your child that we are practicing these drills, just as we do for fire and earthquake. We will be having drills throughout the year.

 

FAMILY PHOTOS: Thank you to the parents who sent in their family photo for our bulletin board. We will be starting our unit on Families this week. Please send in a photo if you have not done so already.

 

PICTURE DAY: Picture Day is this Wednesday. Be sure to have your child wear their school uniform, not their PE shorts. They should bring their picture envelope with payment on that day, if they have not sent it in already.

I have extra envelopes if you need them.

 

Here is an overview of this week:

 

Religion: We will remind them that they are all special in God’s eyes.

Math: We will create our own patterns.

Animal of the Week: Bear and Camel

 

SRA READING: We will be introducing our first pre-decodable this week and determining which words rhyme. We will continue with Nursery Rhymes, having the children fill in the missing words. We will review the terms author, illustrator, table of contents and what they mean.

 

Have a great week!
