Another Day!

Story: Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? By: Bill Martin, Jr.
Oh My!! The animals from this book have jumped out of it! They are hanging around the school for us to find as we tour the school.

Irish Pride: Cafeteria Expectations
The paraprofessionals who supervise the cafeteria will help us know what we need to do in order to have the best dining experience each day. Some of the teaching points are:
~Eat first, talk last.
~Be sure to keep your food to yourself.
~Clean up after yourself.
~Stay seated at the lunch table until an adult tells you to empty your tray.
~Controlled voices.
If you can remind your child of these points, the expectations become internalized quicker.

**Be sure to look at the paper lunch box that comes home with your child today and talk about what is inside to reinforce what they heard about at school today.
 Modeling: Scissors
How will this tool for learning help us? What can we cut? How do we use it safely? Again, teaching the expectations for scissor use is important.

Math: More exploration with the math manipulatives. Children need to freely explore materials before asked to use them for a specific purpose.

* Be sure to check your child's Roundtrip Folder and return it the next day.

* Please return the scrapbook page as soon as possible so it can be assembled into a class book.

* If you did not choose the Snack Cart Option, please send a shoebox-size plastic bin (with lid) filled with individual snacks for your child.  Dry snacks are preferred.

* Kindergarten Parent Night is Thursday, September 12th from 6:00-6:45.
