Please don’t forget to save your BOX TOPS labels, (what an easy way for the school to make money).

Please remember that we have gym class on Monday and Friday mornings and in order for your child to participate your child needs to have on or bring tennis shoes.

Sleep, and plenty of it, is a valuable asset for success in school….please make sure your child gets plenty!

I have enclosed in today’s Friday folder a pamphlet on reading a-loud strategies. Your child should be reading to or with you nightly for at least 15 minutes.

I have begun testing your child on their phone number and address, if your child does not know those you need to be working on them!

No spelling words next week, we are still reviewing letter sounds.
Spelling words will begin the week after Labor Day.

Memory for next week; God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. Genesis 1:31.

We will begin journal writing next week. On Monday please send a wide ruled spiral notebook to school. Please put your child’s name in it.


Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Jaynes

Memory for next week; be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other.

In today’s folder I sent home a copy of the discipline steps I will be using this school year. Please read them and review with your child. Thanks! You will also find a copy of the alphabet. This page shows the correct way to form each letter.

Please send the Friday Folder back to school on Monday.
