Hello, parents!  I wanted to show two pictures that display us hard at work and then hard at rest!  Our enthusiastic group loves to work together and to try new things.  And, as you can see, after all that hard work (and play, of course) we are very tuckered out.

We are really starting to get settled in at school and we are having so much fun!  This week (8/27 - 8/31/12) we will be learning about Families.  We will be making family trees, sharing items found in our family scavenger hunt, pretending to make alphabet soup, experimenting with magnets, and playing with the doll house, kitchen, and a variety of manipulatives.  We will begin learning about the wood pieces used to form letters in our handwriting program.  In Religion we will hear the Bible story, "Let the Children Come to Me."

Don't forget Back-to-School Night is Monday, August 27 at 6:00 pm, beginning in the gym.  Parents only, please :)  Monday, September 3 is Labor Day - No School.

If possible, please keep a small blanket in your child's backpack for use at nap time.  Blankets seem to help them feel contained and make it easier for them to settle down and rest.  Also, it is a great cue for them as well that nap is starting and it's time to be quiet.  Thank you!
