Parents,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend with your incredible kiddos!! My own weekend was FULL of soccer!! Busy, busy, busy!
Things to note:
· Remember, “Back to School Night” is tomorrow, Tuesday, August 21st at 6:00. Please plan to come! It is usually easier for parents, if children do not come as they are sometimes a distraction for parents. I understand completely, however, if you do not have child care this evening. Please know that I will be going over our classroom routines and expectations in more detail! I’ll meet ya in the multi-purpose room! =)
· If you have already sent in your child’s class supplies and class fee – THANK YOU! If you haven’t, please try to do so. Also, if you need another supply list, please let me know and I will slip one into your child’s folder. If this is something that is not financially possible for your family right now, I totally understand! Please just jot me a note, so I know. Thank you so much! I will be sending friendly reminders out soon to those who have not sent in supplies. Thank you for understanding the importance of these supplies and our $20.00 class fee.
· The first high frequency word list is coming home today! Please read and begin reviewing (IF NECESSARY!?) these words with your child. I am doing the same in the classroom and look forward to moving on to bigger and better things!
· Tie-Dye information came home last week. We will be tie-dying on Tuesday, August 28th at 10:15 a.m. If you are planning on having your child tie-dye, please send $$$ and/or items to be tie-dyed in ASAP.
o Could be messy!! Please do not send children in their best clothing on this day.
o If you have some, please send in newspapers prior to 8/28. To be used during the tie-dye process.
o Any parents willing to come and help during tie-dye? Let me know…I will take any extra hands I can this day!!!!
o Is there a parent willing to do our tie-dye laundry after the event???? It is easy and comes with clear and simple directions…Let me know!
· Fundraising information went home last week. Remember, if you are fundraising, the packet is due back before or on August 29th. Thank you!
· Crazy Hat Day on Friday, August 31st has been changed to ACES Day! If you can, please also donate $1.00 this day to our P.T.O.
] Principal’s Lunch [
I am currently looking for two *respectful* kids to earn Principal’s Lunch on August 29th with Ms. Walters and Mrs. Austill! Can’t wait to announce my decision!
*This is quite a special reward earned every month at our school for children displaying our Otter Be’s: Be respectful, Be responsible, Be Safe, Be Kind. Children who are chosen will receive a pizza lunch, drink, treat, and some other goodies. Please know that not all children will receive this particular reward this year, but that I and all other members of our school staff try to find other ways that ALL CHILDREN CAN BE REWARDED! We believe that all children are special and deserving of rewards that demonstrate their own unique strengths!! Thank you in advance for understanding.
