It was a great week in our class! We all had fun! We are getting into our classroom routine. When the children come in they should go to their cubbies. Unpack their backpacks and put their lunch box away, hang up their jackets, put their water bottles away and take their folders out and put them in the wooden bin by the dinosaur table. After their backpack is unpacked they are to hang up their backpack on the hook provided outside the classroom. Starting Monday we will begin the Who's Here Today chart hanging on the door. Your child's picture will be on the center chart. They need to place it on the chart on the classroom door.
We will send homework home on Mondays and Wednesdays. We will start out with one paper and then go to two papers. Please do not do your child's homework. If you are having a hard time with it please let me know.
Show n' tell will be on Fridays. It will start in a few weeks. Please make sure it fits in your child's backpack. Also, please talk it over with your child and tell them what it is so they can tell the class.
We plan to have a firedrill with Mrs. Curbelo's class one day next week. I will discuss this before we have it. We have firedrills in our schhool once a month. Later in the month we will have a lockdown in our classroom.
Next week we will send out a chance to buy inexpensive books through Scholastic book club. Our class gets bonus points if there are orders placed. We can use the points to buy books and various things for the classroom. There is an online code to purchase books and the books usually come in within two weeks. There is also a chance to purchase a subscription to Puzzle Buzz a very good Pre-K booklet that you could receive at home. Please fill out the form either way weather you would like to receive it or not. Our class gets a prize for all forms we get back even if you do not wish to purchase it. Both are optional. Thanking you in advance.
If you did not send in your Pre-K fees (a $25 check for napster and $25 Pre-K activity fee) please do so by Monday September 9.
We have two hermit crabs in our room! Their names are Lucy and Sandy. The children will not be allowed to touch them but we took them out the first day of school and let them crawl around on their plastic playyard. Next Friday we will send home our class stuffed animal pet. Her name is Lucy and she will come home with a journal. Pleasea write about your weekend adventures and you may or may not include pictures. Valerie will be the first child to take her home next Friday.
Also, we have many September birthdays coming up. You may bring in a peanut free snack, special drink, goodie bag etc. You child will go around to the different classrooms in our building with a teacher and friend to collect prizes. Please let me know what you would like to do.

September birthdays are:
Dania, Jacob, Brennyn, Alex, Tim and Francesca
Happy Birthday!

We are getting settled into our classroom routine. Please make sure you walk your child up the stairs and help them unpack their backpacks in the morning. They seem to be doing well but may need some assistance. 
 Please be mindful of what you pack for lunch. I have children telling me they are full after eating4-5 things. Snack is also provided each day.
Scholastic book orders were sent home this week if you would like to order and are due back September 26. Highligts Puzzle Buzz was sent home today. Please fill it out even if you do not want it.

Glance at what we will learn next week:
How to hold the pencil correctly
 Color yellow and square
Letter Mm- how to write the letter and sound it makes
Playing with our friends
Jesus is our friend
We had a visit from Father Edgar today! He came in to see the children play in Centers.
Another exciting thing we did was the children watched me give our crabs a bath. Please see the pictures below.

Wednesday is Curious George's Birthday! Please have your child wear something yellow. If your child has a Curious George book or stuffed animal have them bring it in. Make sure it is labled.
Valerie brought home our stuffed crab Lucy today and will return it on Monday. We will read about Lucy's adventures with Valerie  at Circle Time on Monday.
Please, please reinforce all concepts that you see we are learning especially holding the pencil correctly and name writing. I sent home the prayers we learned so far.
Starting next week we will have one homework on Monday and two homeworks on Wednesday.

Thank you for all your support,
Mrs. McNulty
