Just a note
We will be starting the Word Wall this week! I encourage you to help your child find items that begin with the letter of the week. Please don’t send other toys from home as we don’t want them to get broke or mixed in with ours. Word Wall items will only be brought out and shared during Word Wall and then placed in your child cubby.
Pictures
We will have our class and individual pictures on Wednesday and Thursday in the morning and Wednesday afternoon.
Laps for LAPS
We will be hosting a fundraising event on September 27th called Laps for LAPS! This is the first year that we are hosting this event but basically you sponsor and you ask grandparents, etc. to sponsor your child for each lap your child completes (which is a made up course in our parking lot).
Carnival
Our Fall Carnival is also fast approaching! It will be held on October 4th this year and we will need your help! This is a great opportunity to get some of your volunteer hours that are required in. We need help set up and clean up as well as manning our booth, which happens to be the ever popular Bounce House! There is a signup sheet out for this by our sign in sheet and also on Maria’s door.
Word Wall
The letter of the week will be Ll. The children love to bring items into share and this is a great way to have them start to think about beginning letter sounds so we encourage you to help your children find something they can bring in that starts with the letter of the week. The items go in a container at the beginning of the day and then after they have been shared they will go home.
This week in the Dragonfly Class
This week in the Dragonfly Class we will reading the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom along with other letter books. We will be doing activities that all involve letters as we begin the word wall. On Monday and Tuesday we will be painting our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Tree with our arms and hands so if you could please send your child in short sleeves it would be very much appreciated.
