whole words).

check my email regularly and I will respond to you as fast as I can.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~notes from previous newsletters are below~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Make sure your child’s jacket is clearly labeled with his/her name. We have
many navy jackets and sweatshirts in our room and it is hard for me to know
it belongs to when there is no name written in it. I have been receiving
notes that students are misplacing jackets and lunchboxes. I can look in
the classroom for missing items and I send the children to the Lost and
Found when things are missing. You are free to come to school to look for
your child’s lost items in our lost and found in the gym. Remember to sign-
in in the office if you come to school to go to the lost and found.
If you know your child will be checking out of school early, please send me
a note to let me know. It is nearly impossible to find one student in a sea
of 200 to check out during recess. Also, I may be in the middle of an
activity and unable to make sure your child has everything he/she should
bring home if he/she is checked out without notice.
Just a reminder for visitors: NO adults are allowed to enter the children’s
restrooms. This policy is for the children’s safety and is strictly
enforced. If you have family members that may visit our school for some
reason, please be sure to explain this policy to them.
Thanks to everyone who has been donating items from our class wish list!
Your contributions help us out more than you realize.
*** When looking through homework, I noticed a number of students have all
words spelled correctly in their own handwriting. At this point in the
year, I should not see this many students that know how to spell every word
they write. When given homework that involves writing or spelling,please
do not spell words for your child. It is important for your child to be
able to use his/her knowledge of letter sounds when writing. Spelling
phonetically in Kindergarten, helps children to associate letters with the
sounds they make and helps them to be better spellers in later grades. At
this point in the year, some children may only recognize one letter sound in
a word or no letter sounds in the word. This is normal and you will see
progress throughout the year on this. It is pretty obvious in their work
when children have been told how to spell words instead of trying it for
themselves. If you wish, you may write what your child wrote AFTER he/she
finishes the assignment when homework involves writing or spelling.***
