Ms. Amy Newsom’s Update 9-9-19

Dear Family Members,

Time is flying by these first few weeks of school! We have settled into our routines, and I can already see so much learning in your children. We spent last week introducing our bodies and talking about body parts. This week we will talk about staying healthy by brushing our teeth, and washing hands so we do not get sick. Week 3 of our wellness unit, we will talk about eating healthy foods, especially fruits and vegetables. 

 

This week we will begin learning letters and their sounds. Our curriculum is called Fundations and we will learn two letters a week. This curriculum teaches letters in order, so this week we will learn A and B and next week will be C and D. In the future I will just let you know which letters we are focusing on, so you can review letters and sounds at home with your children.

 

Conference forms went home in Thursday folders to sign up for times at the end of the month and early October. Please return those forms this week, so I can best accommodate conference times for all families. 

 

MyOn is a reading ap where you can access free books for your child on the tablet. We will use it at school as well. You can search for MyOn in the ap store on your device. It says something about reading. Then you can add a user on the right through Spark as your school. I have found out the office should be giving us forms with your username and password to set up an account for your child.

 

Upcoming Information:

Picture day is Tuesday, September 17th. 

 

Please contact me with any questions or concerns you have!
