TUESDAY Sept. 11th Have your child bring in something small that begins with the letter B for show and tell. Our focus is to have the students use specific vocabulary to describe the objects they bring in. This includes describing the object by the letter sound it begins with, the size of the object (big/small or little), the color, texture (smooth/bumpy), weight (heavy, light), length or height (long, short, tall).

~Behavior~ Tornado sign for everyone to be quiet down and listen.
We want to keep you informed of your child’s daily experiences in the classroom so we came up with a 3 square system. On the cover of the folder are three colored squares. These squares will be used to inform you of your child’s behavior. The first square is Green for great behavior all day, yellow is for several warnings, red will warrant a call or note home to the parents. At the beginning of school we give the students lots of warnings as they learn the rules. By the third week of school we expect the students to comply with all of the rules.
Folders: Please check them everyday and take out any papers. I use the folder to send such items as: Newsletters, notes, completed work, any assignments, permission forms for field trips, & volunteer forms. It is important that you open and view the contents of your child’s folder each day. Please feel free to use this folder to send information to me such as sick notes, lunch money, field trip money, etc.
