Weekly Newsletter for the week of August 17-21, 2009

Mrs. Dodd's
newsletter
August 17-21, 2009

We will be working on our names this week. We have a name activity each day to reinforce certain concepts we are discussing. Please make sure that if your child is having trouble writing his/her name, that you practice writing it at home, too! We will be discussing capital/lowercase letters in our names, how many letters, compare/contrast our names to others in the class, and much, much more! At the end of the week, we will be making a class book that will include a picture that I took of your child on the first day of school.

In Math we will be recognizing and writing the numbers 1-5. This skill can also be reinforced at home.

We have worked very hard the past two days learning all of the rules and procedures in our classroom. Please make sure that you went over our Kindergarten Handbook with your child and sign and return the last page as soon as possible. Also, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I am available during my prep hour or before/after school for phone calls.
