September 8th - 11th
Ms. Bishop's Class
Happy Monday! I enjoyed seeing so many visitors today! Remember, you or another family member can come eat lunch and go to the book fair after any day this week. Other options to buy from the book fair - pulling them from class at a time that works for you; or I will take them on Wednesday at our scheduled time. For this you would either send cash or load money on their eWallet.
Here's the link again if you prefer to do that. If there is money leftover, it will remain on their account to use in the Spring Book Fair!

Students are bringing home library books today! It's a good habit to try and bring it each day, but please be sure it returns to school by Tuesday or Wednesday. Our library day is Wednesday, so if they do not have it then, they won't be able to check out a book.
Reminder: No school on Fridays starting this week!
Thank you for sending snacks!
I missed who sent the snacks on Friday. Maybe the kids will let me know! We should be good for the week. Thank you so much!

Things You Can Work On At Home!
- READ, READ, READ! Read books with your child. Talk about the characters, ask questions, make predictions. Read environmental print - road and store signs, menus, wrappers on food, for example. Point out words around you and your child sound them out. Playing "school" is always a fun way to learn and bond with your child. Cooking together is a great way to practice reading, math, and science. It is so important to instill a love of reading in children, and it starts with us--the grownups (even if you don't like to read, fake it).
- Writing practice- name writing, numbers, letters, grocery lists, anything! Write a book with your child by making fun stories together. Practice holding a pencil and crayon correctly.
- Counting, number identification, add/subtract - you can do this at dinner or snack time with food, make number stories out of picking toys up 😉, etc.
- Sight words - I sent home flash cards for you and your child to cut out for practice!
- ** If you would like some resources for extra practice at home, please just let me know. I can print things for you, send books home, etc.
