Week of September 10-14, 2012

Hello parents!  This week I will be sending home a printed newsletter and updating my blog to make sure everyone is getting this information.  If you did not get an email reminder to check the blog, or if there is another parent or care giver you would like to put on my email list, please email me at jane.butters@canyonsdistrict.org.  Next week I will just update the blog with any new information items.

Homework:

            We are starting kindergarten homework this week.  The paper will be sent home on Monday.  Please work on the homework throughout the week, sign the bottom and have your child return it to school on Monday September 17^th for a prize!  I always collect the homework and do not return it.  So, if you find your child’s homework in their backpack, that means I did not see it!

Reading folders:

            We are also starting reading folders this week.  The folders went home with the students on Friday.  The instructions are in the folders.  Simply mark the days your child reads, initial the end of the row, and send it back to school every Monday starting September 17.

Volunteers:

            I am sending home a volunteer calendar for September on bright pink paper on Monday.  This schedule is a work in progress!  If you are scheduled for a day you cannot come, just email me and let me know.  If you are not scheduled and would like to volunteer, just let me know which days work best for you.  On the day you are scheduled, come in from 9:15-10:15.  Be sure to register on the district website and check in at the office when you come.

Library Books:

            On Monday we are also going to the school library for the first time.  Each child will be able to check out two books from the school library.  Enjoy them throughout the week and return them the next Monday.

Snacks:

            As mentioned in the information you received at your assessment appointment, each student will be allowed to bring a small healthy snack for recess only for the month of September.  After that we will use our whole recess time for active play.

            Well, that’s all for this week!  This year is off to a great start!  Thanks for all your help!
