Ms. Jess’s Newsletter – September 2016

News: We have had a great start to our school year. These past few weeks we have been learning about school vocabulary (pencil, paper, crayon) and have been playing “Little Mouse” a game to make learning colors engaging. We have also begun working on our letter of the week. Miss Ruth and Mr. Ty are doing a large group activity combining therapies on Thursdays and the students are really enjoying it. Library checkout will be starting the week September 6th. Please help your child bring their book back regularly as we will be checking out weekly.
