Our Weekly Newsletter 10/22

Hello

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful, long weekend! It was a wonderful break before our upcoming busy season starts.  We have many things to look forward to, so please read carefully for information about our upcoming events.

This week we are focusing on the letter 'T'.  Please reinforce the sound the letter 't' makes and point it out everywhere you can.  This really helps solidify the information being taught at school.


Homework

Here is the list of tasks to be completed this week.  Please space out the activities throughout the week.  The homework is meant to be done in small chunks throughout the week.  Remember to return the homework folder on Friday.

1. Choose 3-4 activities from the October calendar
2. Make a collage/draw pictures of things that begin with 'T' in the yellow book
3. Complete the 'T' page in the handwriting book
4. Read 10 minutes a night and fill out the reading log

Johnson Family Farm
We will be heading to Johnson Family Farm this Thursday, October 25th.  We will be leaving school at 11am and returning by the end of the school day.  When we arrive at the farm we will eat lunch and then have our tour.  The cost of the trip is $7.  Please send the money with your child to school as soon as possible along with the permission slip.  Each adult going must also pay $7.  If you are planning to attend the field trip but have not let me know, please let me know by Tuesday morning so I can assign cars accordingly.  On Thursday, each child should come with a labeled sack lunch, warm clothes, close toed shoes, and their labeled booster seat. 
Harvest Party
We will be having a harvest party in class on Wednesday, October 31st.  The party will begin at 1:45 and end at 2:45.  We would love to have some adult volunteers come and help with food and/or lead a center. The sign-up sheet is posted on our Shutterfly account, so please check that website for what you can bring. We don't celebrate Halloween at TLCS so the students are asked not to wear their Halloween costumes (if they have one) to school.  Since we are celebrating the harvest, however, I am encouraging all the students to come dressed as a farmer on that day.  This can be as simple as a flannel shirt and jeans. 

Parent-Teacher Conferences
Thank you for signing up!  We have everyone booked!  I will be sending home a reminder note next week, so don't worry if you have forgotten your time.  I am very much looking forward to meeting with each of you and talking about your child's growth!

Natural Bridges
We will be going on a field trip to Natural Bridges on Wednesday, November 14th to see the butterflies!  We will be leaving school at 10:15am and returning to school around 1:30pm.  There will be a sign-up sheet posted on the Shutterfly website for drivers.
