A NOTE FROM YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER:

The children have picked up on the routines in our classroom really well! They amaze me with the way they remember what is suppose to happen next. This is a loving group of children and they love helping each other in the classroom and helping us keep the room in order.  We have started the Abeka program and will begin homework in September. Please remember to send your child's B.E.E. Binder daily. Thanks

*Please practice the flashcards that we are sending home.
Parent/Child connection project is an art project that will be sent home each month for you to complete with your child. This months project is  "All about Me" .

*Zero the Hero is an imaginary friend who loves numbers that end in "0". We will celebrate every 10 days of school with a "visit' from Zero. You may view the music video of Zero at School House Rock on the internet. When we reach 100 days of school , we have a special celebration.

*Parents: Please continue to work with your child on his/her fine motor skills. The handouts that we sent home will provide suggestions for you. You may also want to purchase the game- OPERATION. This will help your child with the "pincher grasp" that will strenthen their muscles in their little hands.

*If you have not yet purchased the "Letter Factory" Dvd for your child - please do so now. This video is instrumental in helping your child with the correct sounds of letters. It is from Leapfrog and can be found at Target or Sams.
