School
picture day will be Tues. September 12th @ NSE. Picture info/envelopes are being sent
home today, 8/31. ALL students
will be photographed regardless of purchase so please dress your child
accordingly. School dress code
must be followed on picture day. Payment is due on 9/12, but
if you can send it by Monday, 9/11 it would be greatly appreciated, as Kindergarten
will be photographed first in the morning and it is difficult to locate all
envelopes out of folders that morning prior to being photographed.

We’ve begun our enVision Math. We will continue working on Topic 13:
Sorting, Classifying, Counting, and Categorizing Data. Please
review practice pages that come home daily.

For Reading we began with the story, The Little School Bus. A Family
Times newsletter was sent home with details about the story and skills we
will be working on. Please review
the Amazing words, the ordinal numbers, first,
second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth,
letter recognition of letters Aa, Bb,
Cc, Dd, and Ee, the story
element “character”, and the high frequency words I & am.
·
Continue to check your child’s communication
folder daily. Items on the KEEP side need to be removed
at home. **Thank you to all -- all forms have been returned to Mrs. Potts. **Any money, notes, or items for the teacher
to see NEED to be in your child’s folder.
Mrs. Potts doesn’t look through book bags---only the folders!
·
AR/Book
Buddy bags will be sent home in your child’s backpack. Please read over the notes enclosed and
begin recording any books read on the September recording sheet, which should remain in the bag.

Those interested in volunteering this school
year should join the PTO and have a criminal record check, a child abuse
clearance, and fingerprinting on file in the office, and complete ACT 126
training before helping with the children at school. The 1st PTO meeting will be held on Monday,
September 11th @ 6:30 in the school cafeteria.

The September Scholastic Book orders are due by Wednesday,
Sept. 7th. Orders can
be placed online at www.scholastic.com/readingclub
using the activation code: GJXGV or send in orders and money to the
teacher—cash or check made payable to
Scholastic.
·
Try to make sure your child has his/her bus tag
every day. The end of the day can
be hectic and some children don’t know their bus numbers yet!
·
Keep practicing your child’s 5-digit number and begin
practicing daily sight words!!
The first list won’t be tested for at least a week or two!!
**A BIG Thank You to all the
parents who have donated supplies and items from our “helping hands”. Your donations are greatly appreciated.
I hope your child has enjoyed
his/her first week and is looking forward to returning on Tuesday!!! Mrs. Potts
