Weekly News for the Week of September 18, 2017

Hello Families!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  I want to thank all of you who have donated much needed items the past week to our classroom, tissues, baby wipes and bleach wipes go fast and are so very appreciated!  Thank you for such a great response!  We should be ok on these items for a couple of months!!!

Since our students receive many services, Speech, OT, PT and APE, and there are only 6 hours in a school day to fit everything in, we will only be swimming on Tuesdays, weather permitting.  (So nice to have cool weather back!)  The children are loving to do their PE with Ms. Kathleen our APE coach!  We are doing a lot of group as well as individual services!

Homework details are such:  Please read with your child every day.  Use favorite materials, ask your child questions such as who, what is, where is, and record their responses on the reading log.
Play ball with your child for as many minutes as they can participate before they reach the threshold that they have had enough, throw and catch a variety of balls, bat around a balloon, roll a beach ball, bounce on a yoga ball, record your activities and how many minutes on the back of the reading log.
Lastly do some coloring, drawing or painting.  Attach to the reading log and turn homework in on Fridays please.  Homework should be fun for both you and your child. Get creative, if your child likes books on CD, share that.  If your child likes to decorate the sidewalk with chalk, take a picture and text it to me:)  I love these!  Do your best and have fun!!!

One last reminder that we have Peanut and Nut allergies in our classroom.  Please Please Please do NOT send peanut butter in your child's lunch or snack.

This Weeks Menu is Cycle 3, see the School Menu Tab for details.

Later this week I should have more details on upcoming school wide events and a field trip for our class in October.

Thank you again for all you do for your child at home to support their learning!!  Have a blessed week!!

Donna :)
