Just a note
We are off to a great start!!  I know last week was a little hectic but went very smoothly after class got going.  I really strive to build a classroom community and encourage families to get to know each other and bond outside school as well!  We will have a sign-up sheet for a directory to aid in this.  If you would like to be a part of this directory please sign up by Friday.

Pictures
We will be doing several projects with pictures this week (and next).  We need a picture of your child doing something they enjoy and one of your family. Please send copies of these pictures as you will we keep them all year.

Supplies
Thank you so much for all the supplies that we have received!! You guys rock! If you have turned in or are going to turn in a white binder with any of the other supplies listed it will count as 1/2 hour of your volunteer time!

Snapfish
I will be setting up our Snapfish album at the end of this week and sending you information regarding how to become a member of our group so you can view the pictures we take during our day.  I try to upload pictures once a week or every other week. Only members of our class can view these pictures as this group is private.  This is a great way to talk with your children about their day and their friends.

Word Wall
I have decided to delay word wall until we start our “We’re WILD about Letters” theme on September 22^nd.  The first letter we will feature is the letter Ii.

This week in the Dragonfly Class
This week in the Dragonfly Class the theme is “We’re WILD about YOU!!” We will be sharing what our favorite colors, food, and activity is with our class. We will take pictures to document the first week in school, we will also weigh and measure each child to see how much they grow over the school year. We will be creating self-portraits and tracing our bodies this week. We will discuss what our bodies do and how we can keep them healthy. We will also begin to setup our portfolios and talk about the things we want to keep in their books.  I want it to reflect them and want them to take an interest and pride in what goes in their books.  We have several projects this week that involve pictures so if we don’t have your pictures please send them in this week.
