Week of August 27, 2012

It's hard to believe that we are in the last week of August. We have a busy week ahead of us at JME and in Room 145.

Beginning Monday August 27, 2012 I will be returning back to the classroom. I am very excited about this and look forward to working with you and your child. If you need to contact me, please call the school (912)368-3114 or email me at fkelso@liberty.k12.ga.us.

A Look Ahead

• Book Fair Week: Our school wide book fair begins Monday, August 27th. We will visit Monday for your child to make a wish list. If you would like your child to purchase anything, please send the money in a marked envelope and I will send him/her up during the day to get the items.
• Back to School Night: Tuesday, August 28. You are invited to visit the school. Areas will be set up with more information about some of our programs, like the I CARE program and computer checkout.
• Muffins with Mom: Friday, August 31, all mothers/grandmothers are invited to have breakfast with their students. This  event begins at 7:20 and ends at 7:40.
• AR/Library Visit:  We go to the library every Tuesday. Your child will check out one book and will return it the following Tuesday. If a book is lost payment must be made to JME for the replacement cost. The AR program has not begun yet so there are no goals set for your child nor are there any tests for them on the books. I will let you know when the system is up and running.
• Popcorn: Popcorn sales have begun! Every Friday your child may purchase popcorn for $.50 a bag. Please send money in an envelope marked POPCORN so that I can know to add your child's name to the list.Remember-I am unable to make change so you must send in the exact amount.

In our classroom we will be working on:

• Letter Hh
• Sight Words a, my the as well as I, like, it.
• Comparing Numbers using less than and equal to
• All About Me
• Labor Day Holiday
• Living/Non-Living

Just a reminder-when sending money to school, please put it in an envelope marked with the purpose of the money. The envelope must be placed in the plastic pocket inside your child's folder.

Have a wonderful week!
