Week 4 Newsletter

Dear TK Family and Friends,

Yesterday, we joined the school in the Fun Run Assembly.  The theme this year is Super Heroes!  We are all super heroes in some way of helping each other.  The TK-ers are really excited about this year's Fun Run theme.  A Fun Run folder was sent home yesterday in your child's Take Home folder. The goal is for every child to raise at least $80.  I hope you will support the school and help bring in donations.  The envelopes are due every Thursday starting Oct. 1 up until the day before the Fun Run.  Every Thursday, your child can wear his or her Fun Run T-shirt when they turn in their envelope.  I have already placed orders for the t-shirts and should expect them to come in very soon!

This week, we will focus on the following:

• Friendships and how Jesus wants us to be friends
• Songs: Come Be My Friend and It's Story Time
• The legend of Johnny Appleseed
• Apples and their parts
• Matching Quantities
• Sorting
• Letters up to Mm
• Reading our Sight Word books - focus is the word "A"
• Number 4

We are having Birthday snacks this Friday to celebrate Sydney, Frances, Issa, and Jayden's 5th birthdays.  You are welcome to still send a snack with your child to school; however, please know they will be served a special snack (in case they come home on Friday with the snacked you packed untouched).  

Those children celebrating their birthdays in the month of October.  I have scheduled your birthday snack day to be Friday, October 9.  A note will go home with those children to remind you.

Our cubbies are here and have been assembled!  Your child has been placing their tote bags in their own cubbies.  I'm excited to see how fast your child is learning his/her class number.  Remind them of their number each morning and every so often show them that number to familiarize themselves with it.  They are getting the hang of it pretty quickly!  Because they each have their own cubbie, they are each asked to pull out their own snack from their tote bag.  If they are a daycare student, remind them of which bag or items are for snack and which is to be saved for lunch.

I am keeping this week's newsletter short.  If I am forgetting to address something, please send me an email to remind me.

Have a great week!

Mrs. Paragas
