Notes from the Teachers:

*Please continue to reinforce at home what is taught at school:  name writing, letter recognition (e, Ff, G), and patterning.

*Please encourage your child to TRY to read the books we make at school aloud at home!  This is a great opportunity to attempt to sound out words and discuss the illustrations.

*As the weather begins to cool down, you may want to send your child to school with a jacket or sweatshirt in his/her bag.  Please continue to work on shoe tying if your child is not able to tie their own shoes.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE practice tying shoes with your child if they do not know how to tie yet.

*On early Out/Inservice Wednesdays, kindergarten students are dismissed at 1:35.
