If you have not already heard the news, delegates in the Chicago Teachers Union voted this evening to end the strike at this time! This means we will be back in school TOMORROW!!! YAY!!! I am so excited to be going back into school tomorrow and seeing all the children! I have missed them all so much.
It will be a normal school day for everyone. As a reminder the A.M. Class is from 8:05-10:40 a.m. and our P.M. Class is from 12:20-2:55 p.m. Please make sure you have your child lined up ready to go when your child’s session is to begin. AM class lines up at door 4 outside, and PM class lines up at door 6 outside.
Over the next three days we will be reviewing our daily routines, school rules, and the various learning centers we have throughout the classroom. We also will begin our unit of “All About Me”! Over the course of the next four weeks, students will go through a series of lessons that involve learning about themselves and their classmates. There will be some take home activities that your child will be required for him/her to do at home and return the next day. Please make sure you are checking their folder daily. This FRIDAY we will be sending our first preschool project home. It is called, “All About Me Jar”. For one week, you and your child will collect and create a jar that represents them. All directions and supplies needed will be inside the preschool project packet. Look for this on Friday!!!
SCHOLASTIC BOOK ORDERS! On Friday, we will be sending home our September AND October book order forms. For those of you that are Internet savvy, you may order these books on-line using our class activation code is: GK7GQ. Please visit https://orders.scholastic.com/GK7GQ to get started!!! Book orders will be due Wednesday, September 26, 2012. If you would like to just order with the paper form, you may write a check out to Scholastic Book Clubs.
Looking forward to FINALLY getting the year underway! See you tomorrow!!!
