Important Information:

PIZZA DAY AND BAKE SALE:

On Tuesday, September 26th, 2017 Good Shepherd School will host its first pizza day and bake sale at lunch. Please note there is no need to pre-order the pizza. Simply have your child bring in his/her money and the lunch monitor and I will assist the children. There is the choice of cheese pizza and pepperoni pizza. Each slice of pizza costs $2.50. Juice boxes are available for $1.00. The children can purchase a dessert from the bake sale as well. Please take note that the school cafeteria will be closed on this day, therefore please send your child to school with a lunch if he/she will not be purchasing pizza. Also, please send in a MORNING SNACK as usual, as the children will not be able to purchase items at recess from the bake sale. 

This week, we will continue our apple theme.  I invite the children to bring in books, toys or objects related to our theme that we can place on our theme table in the class. Thank you to all the families that have already brought things for our theme table. :)  Please be sure to write your child' s name on the item or book so that I can easily return it to you.  Thank you in advance! 

We have many fun activities planned related to apples in the coming weeks. I am asking all children to bring 3 apples to school by Friday.  Please send in a red apple (a Red Delicious or McIntosh), a yellow apple (Golden Delicious) and a green apple (Granny Smith). Please send the apples to school as soon as possible.  We will use the apples to make apple sauce and for a taste test as well as some Science and Math lessons. 

Please continue to have your child practice writing his/her name EVERY DAY.  Please use the name card that was given to you on Meet the Teacher Night and have your child use lower case (small) letters for his/her name as opposed to all capital letters.  Thank you!

I have posted some new pictures of the children on the website. Once you have clicked on the Photos tab, just click on the link below the title of the album to view the pictures. 


REMINDERS:

The blue duo-tang will be sent home every Monday and must be returned the following Monday. You will keep the purple duo-tang at home. Throughout the week, please review the sound of the week and have your child complete the corresponding pages in the purple duo-tang.  Please have your child practice singing the weekly songs/poems and complete the activity at the bottom of the page (if there is one) in the blue duo-tang. Please refer to the introduction letter for a more detailed explanation of this on the 2nd page of both duo-tangs.
