Dear
Parents,
This week we will be begin our first study
learning about color blue.
We will be working on color blue activities. The vocabulary words we are going
to be focusing on are: jeans, ocean,
sky, blueberry, and whale. If you have any items at home that are color blue, send them over with your child and we will be discussing them in class, we will display them on a table and we will return them back on Friday. The kids get excited to bring things from home.
On Friday the students will have ¨Blue dress day¨ Please have your child wear a blue piece of clothing. Thanks a lot for your involvement.
Some of the stories that we will be reading this week are:
In our Social Studies unit we
will be talking about MY FAMILY. We will begin with this unit this week. Some
of the vocabulary words we will be learning this week are: mother, father, brother, sister, baby.We
are requesting a family picture for WEDNESDAY. We will be keeping the picture for
the following two weeks and returning it to you on Friday, September 4th. We
will be discussing how families are alike and different. Each student will have
the chance to talk to us about things they do together as a family. We will be
discussing why families are important and why do we love our families.
Manners, and the words they will learn
are: please, thank you, excuse me,
sorry, good morning, and good-bye. The students will be encouraged to use
polite words in school.
As stated in our Open House, we will be sending
homework every Wednesday. Please make
sure the notebook is sent back to school.
Please remember to check your child’s folder every
single day and send it back to school the next day. We are working on this
special routine with the students. Remember that this is the best way for you
to communicate with us.
