Hello, All! Our theme this week is Shapes. We will be learning all about basic shapes by making a book in Art, singing shape songs and playing shape games. We will also hunt for shapes in the Sensory Table. In Dramatic Play we will be pretending to visit and work at a Beauty Shop. In Religion we will hear a story about Jamal and Abby being welcomed at school. We will also make a "friendship cake." In Handwriting we will learn how to use our wood pieces to make a person called "Mat Man." We will also be talking about the difference between living and non-living things.



Info. for the week:

Tuesday 9/1 and Wednesday 9/2 - Vision Screenings

We are sending home character cut-outs that go along with the Religion program. These are for your child to keep at home. They can use these to retell stories heard at school or simply play with them.

We are in need of donations for our treasure chest. If anyone can help, we need small toys, stickers, etc. to give out for end-of-the-week prizes. These do not need to be new items. Oftentimes, people just clean out the toy box! Yes, things get recycled this way. Also, if you get extra or duplicate happy meal toys, these are great. Thanks for any help with this.

We are sending home a class roster so that you can know the names of the children who are in class with your child (great idea Mrs. Ripp!) The school will be sending out a school directory sometime soon as well.

Have a great week!
