This week is Teddy Bear Week.  Please allow your child to bring a bear to school this week.  We will be studying bears and the characteristics of mammals.  We have lots of activities planned around our bear theme.  On Friday we will conclude our unit with a Teddy Bear Parade.  If you are able to come and watch us parade around the school, we would love to have you.  Our parade will begin at 8:45.  We hope to see you there!

We have Art on Monday with Mrs. Marquis.  Please remind your child to bring in their art shirt.  We will wear them at every art class to protect our clothes.  The children will keep their art shirt in their cubby for the year.

Our Sharing Time will begin on Monday also.  If your child has Monday as their sharing day, they may bring in an item to share.  Please leave the toys at home!  A book, picture, something they made etc. are all appropriate items to share.  If a child is absent on his day to share, he/she will just share on the next school day.

The first week went very well.  The children are all very excited about everything at school.  Let's hope the weather is just a little bit cooler now that we are inside for most of the day.

I want to thank all of you for helping to make our first week a success.  Thank you also for sending in supplies for the classroom!

All for now,

~Dee
