Volunteers Wanted

I will be asking for volunteers to come in once a month to work with the children in their stations (centers). The room parents will be coordinating this. Please let me know via e-mail if you are interested in volunteering. You will need to have a background form completed before you volunteer. Volunteer dates will be on Wednesdays from 9:45-10:30.

Thanks

Fall Fun!

Week of September 19th

Please send in any old magazines. We will use them for projects.

Please have your child practice the formation of the letters Aa, Oo, Cc, Gg. Discuss the sounds that these words make. Look for them in print. Search for things around the house and neighborhood that begin with these sounds.

We read There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. Ask your child about the book. Find books at home that have rhymes in it and read them together!

Welcome to Kindergarten!

We have had a great first few days of Kindergarten. The children are all eager and willing to learn. I can't wait to meet you all at Open House and tell you about all the exciting new things that your child will be learning about this year. Open House is Monday, September 12th.

Please make sure that you send your child's folder to school each day. It is our main source of communication.

Please send all important paperwork as soon as possible. If you elect not to participate in the insurance, the paper must be marked accordingly and signed by you.

If your child's dismissal plans change in any way, please send in a note that morning. Please let any friend or family member know that if they are the designated person picking up your child, the child will not be released without a note from you and proper identification from the pick-up person.

If anyone is willing to handle monthly Scholastic Book orders, please let me know.

Please contact me via e-mail, crenwj@monroeps.org, if you have any other questions.
