Just a note
Our Fall Carnival is also fast approaching!  It will be help on October 3rd 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 will be a signup sheet out for this. 


Pictures
It’s not too late!! If we don’t have your pictures you can still send them in! J

We will be finishing up our projects with pictures this week.  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.


Bikes
Bikes will be out this week!  If your child would like to ride a scooter or bike please send a bike helmet for them to wear.  To ensure your child’s safety they must wear a properly fitted helmet to be allowed to ride the bikes. 

Snapfish Album
Our Classroom Album is created and ready for your viewing!!  I will email you the link to the website and the unique classroom code.  If you don’t have a Snapfish account then you will have to sign up for one and then join our password protected group room.  This is a fun way for you to talk with your child about their day at school and you can have a snap shot of what their day looks like. J

Kindred Visit
We are visiting the grandma’s & grandpas at Kindred across the street Wednesday and Thursday this week for the first time this year.  (Thursday for the Afternoon Class)  This can be a little scary the first couple of times because it’s a new atmosphere and some of the residents are in wheel chairs and some are sleeping.  I will prepare the children for this by talking about how we all have similarities and differences.  If you could talk with your child with positive energy about this time we share there it would be very helpful.  This can be a very rewarding and joyful time in sharing our smiles & songs and that’s what we want to focus on.

This week in the Dragonfly Class
This week in the Dragonfly Class we will finish up with our Wild about you theme and this will include Wild about our friends!   We didn’t quite as much done last week as I thought we would so we will trace our bodies, share the what I like pages and our family pictures.  We created a self-portrait last week that we will keep for our portfolios and this week we will work on one to send home.  We still need to measure our height and weight so we can track how much we grow this year!

Word Wall
I have decided to delay word wall until we start our “We’re WILD about Letters” theme on September 22nd.  The first letter we will feature is the letter Aa.  We decided to go in order so it would be easier for everyone to keep track of.

This week’s songs in the Dragonfly Class
This week’s songs in the Dragonfly Class 
The more we get together
The more we get together, together, together,
The more we get together, together, together
The happier will be!
Your friends are my friends and
My friends are your friends
The more we get together, together, together
The more we get together, together, together
The happier you’ll be!

Make new friends, but keep the old
One is silver and the others gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That’s how long I want to be your friend!
