Sept. 9 – 13, 2013 BPES- 817.744.4600 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Independence Unit of Study: Colors/Rhyming/Germs Show & Tell Letter: M Colors of the Week Next week we are going to celebrate the third week of school by all dressing in the same color as we learn to read and spell our color words. Don’t forget to have your child wear the specified color each day!! Monday: Blue Tuesday: Red Wednesday: Green Thursday: Orange Friday: your favorite color Kindergarten Yearbook In your child’s folder today is a Kindergarten Yearbook page. Each child (with some assistance) needs to complete the Kindergarten Yearbook page and return it no later than Monday, Sep. 16. You can use real pictures, drawings, or pictures cut out of magazines. The kids love to share their page with the class and then we will put it together as a book for them to look at throughout the year! Shorts & Water bottles Girls need to wear shorts under their skirts and dresses. Your child is allowed to bring a water bottle to the classroom since we do not have water fountains in our rooms, but it must have their name on it and it can only contain water (this includes their drink for snack- water only). Watch Dog Dad Pizza Night Calling all dads and their children. Thursday, September 12 is the kick off night for Watch Dog Dads. There will be pizza served at the meeting. Please return the pink flyer that came home in your child’s folder earlier this week or you can sign up at this link: www.SignUpGenius.com/go/5080B44ADAB29A57information/6340066 We hope to see everyone there! Your child is starting to slide into the daily routine. Please help us by allowing them to carry their backpack into school and let them go into their room by themselves and put their things away. This will help them become more independent throughout their day. Show and Tell Every Friday your child may bring something for Show and Tell that begins with the specified letter for the week. They will keep it in their backpack and then they will need to be able to tell the class 3 clues about their show and tell. The other classmates will then try to guess what they brought. Don’t forget it must start with the designated letter for that week. Homecoming Parade & Float Timbercreek High School’s Homecoming Parade is on Monday and we would love your child to come and walk in the parade or come and watch the parade and cheer us on. If your child wants to walk in the parade, we are asking that you walk with them and you will need to return the permission slip that is coming home in their folder today, by Monday morning. Our fabulous PTA is sponsoring the BPE homecoming parade float. Join in the fun of preparing it for the parade. Decorating will begin at 2:00 on Sunday, September 8th in the back parking lot. See you there. Drills Parents, we want you to be informed when we practice our fire drills, bad weather drills, and lockdown drills. We hope to never need any of these, but we want your child to know what to do for their safety in case we were to have a fire, tornado, or their safety was compromised in the building. Under dates to remember, we will post the dates of these drills. Sight Words Your child will be responsible for learning how to read and spell a list of sight words. As we introduce the words, we will post them in the newsletter. I red blue can Dates to Remember: September: 9: Homecoming Parade 12: Watch Dog Dad Pizza 6:30
