I'm sure by now many of the children have mentioned that we have a classroom pet named S'more. She is a guinea pig and has all of the colors of the traditional campfire treats known as S'mores. She has white that represents marshmallows, light brown that represents graham crackers, and dark brown that represents the yummy chocolate candy bar. S'more always has her regular guinea pig food available but she does enjoy special treats. From past experience, I know the children like to share special treats with her. I will be making a list of treats that she is allowed to have and will pass the information on to you. In order to prevent several children from bringing treats at the same time, I will make a calendar that will inform you when your child is our classroom helper. They will have the privilege of holding the flag for the pledge, being first in line, sitting next to the teacher, and if they choose to, they may bring in a very small treat for S'more and I will help them give it to her. I will ask that the children only bring in treats for her when they are my helper in order to prevent an abundance (and possible waste) of treats. We will begin this in October.
Please remember that our class begins at 9 a.m. and with cooler days ahead and your child needs time to hang up their jackets or sweaters Please remember that dropping your child off about 10 to 15 minutes prior to our start time allows them time to hang up jackets and use the restroom if necessary. PLELASE LABEL ALL ARTICLES OF CLOTHING THAT COME TO SCHOOL.
Don't forget that Curriculum Night is Tuesday, September 22nd at 6:30 p.m. This is your chance to hear about our classroom routine and discuss the preprimary curriculum. This is a night set aside to answer your general questions and concerns. If you have questions or concerns that pertain only to your child it is best to make an appointment to meet with me, call me after school (3:30 pm at 248-689-9565), and lastly the e-mail me through the school web site. I usually check my e mail at least 3 times a day and often it is easier than playing "phone tag" and I can also e mail you in the evening. Hope to see you there!
As we head into cooler days and sweaters and jackets are being worn to school, please remember to have your child's name written on all articles of clothing. Thank you for your cooperation.
