Thank you all so much for working so hard to get the school year off to a great start. I know it is overwhelming at first and that there is so much paperwork, things to bring in, meetings, Back-to-School Night and other school activities. Believe me I am overwhelmed just keeping up with recording all of the items and papers returned! It really does take a village to give our children the absolute best experience in school and I am sure you can see the results with the announcement of our API score of 951! What an achievement! Our school is ranked 10 out of 10!
That being said, I would like to encourage all of the moms, dads and relatives who are able, to sign up for a classroom volunteer spot, and two Speech & Language snacks. I have all of the paperwork in class, so just stop in Tuesday, or use the Google Volunteer and the Google Speech Class Sign-Up document to sign up.
Please remember to send in a change of clothes for your child if you have not already done so. Accidents happen and I keep these in the classroom so I will not have to call you at home or work to come to school with a change of clothes. I am still missing clothes for 8 children.

Meet Miss A! She is our first Letter Person and we will meet one every week for the next 26 weeks of school! Every week we complete 2 pages in our Binder (thank you for sending those in!) and in the Spring your child will take home a completed book. Miss A is has a special "light" on her shirt because she is a vowel letter. We learn about that, her sound, sing her song, complete the two pages, use Starfall Letter A on the computer, and complete the "A" page in our Picture-Word Dictionary. You can look up videos of the Letter People to show your children. Be sure to let them have a peek at this picture before Tuesday. The children get very excited when they know the letter ahead of time! We are also working in our Handwriting Without Tears books including proper pencil/crayon grip and coloring techniques. Here are links to helpful pages for handwriting. Feel free to download those you think will be helpful. There is also an App. available via iTunes.
During Math time we will begin our September Math Journal with problem solving, counting and sequencing/sorting shapes. Though this is a short week, we will have our Speech & Language and Enrichment on Wednesday and Morning Assembly and Library on Friday.
As always, if you have questions or concerns, please email me directly.
Best Wishes,
Amy Weisberg
