Picture Day, Flappy the Owl, Parent Teacher Conferences

I hope all of you have had a wonderful weekend! We had a great week in Kindergarten and a relaxing weekend was definitely needed!

Just a few reminders I wanted let you know about. This Wednesday, September 18th is picture day! Be sure to send your picture form with your child if you are planning on ordering any pictures. If you are not ordering, your child will still have their picture taken for the school! I can't wait to see all of them on Wednesday morning :)

We have started something new in Kindergarten! We are proud to announce.....Flappy the Owl!

Flappy was donated to our classroom by our para Miss Molly. We brainstormed ideas on what to name our new owl friend and had a class vote to narrow it down! Flappy was the winner and we love him!

Flappy gets to go home with one child in our class every weekend. He will come home in a bag with a notebook. Make sure your child has a lot of fun with Flappy and draws a picture of what they did together over the weekend! (Feel free to add real pictures as well..you don't have to!) Encourage your child to write something about what they did together! Flappy got to spend this weekend with Ms. Schlegel to start us off, and he had a really fun time! If Flappy comes to your house for the weekend, please be sure your child takes great care of him and remembers to bring him, his notebook, and his bag back to school on Monday to share what he did over the weekend with our class!

Great job with encouraging your children to bring their homework back every day! We are in full force with math and I know a lot of them are enjoying doing homework every night! When every child brings their homework back, we get a brownie to add to our pan! We have been at 4 brownies for a few days, so they are very motivated to get our surprise!

We have started our Social Studies unit and have been talking all week about American symbols. Ask your child about things like The White House, The Statue of Liberty, and The Liberty Bell. We are continuing with more American symbols this week and the children have loved learning about their country!

Parent teacher conferences are coming up! Please remember to send back the signed yellow half sheet that came home in Wednesday folders with a reminder of the date and time of your conference!

I hope your weekend was wonderful! I am reading for another week in Kindergarten!
