Monday, September 16th

Our first Practice Sheet is coming home in folder's today. As you read on the newsletter, please don't do it all at once - a little each day will benefit your child. Also, your child needs to write with a pencil. (Please let me know if you need me to send a pencil home for your child to do the Practice Sheet.) This is a picture of what to look for in the folder: Practice Sheet Picture. Also, refer back to the letter identification video I shared last week for guidance about helping your child learn the names of the letters.

Today, we began our second week of our 95% phonics program. We are focusing on the letters Tt and Pp this week.  Here is some more information about this phonics program. 

We're studying apples this week in science. Please send an apple to school by tomorrow. Thank you to those who sent in an apple today!

The students were so excited about our first day of Literacy Stations. We will continue to review the procedures for Literacy Stations in hopes that it will go smoothly in the coming weeks.

Please continue to practice the lunch numbers at home with your child. This makes checking out a new library book easy and speeds up the long line of children buying a school lunch.

No Hassle Fundraiser - The No Hassle Fundraiser is happening through Friday. Please consider giving a donation to our school. You can give online by clicking this link: No Hassle Fundraiser. Mrs. Bolden has asked every student to participate, even if they want to do that by sending $1 to school in an envelope labeled with "Fundraiser."

Thank you to everyone who has already submitted their Community Helper picture and sentence. See last Thursday's post for more information. I need these by Friday please.
