Friday Note for September 23rd 2011

Library

Just a quick reminder:
Tomorrow (Friday) is library. Library books are due.

If a child does forget their library book he/she will still have the chance to still visit with different books while we are at the LRC, but will not be able to bring another home till the first is returned.

Banford Library Visits with Mrs. Palmateer

On Fridays we will be visiting the LRC (Library) at 1:40. This week the students were able to check a book out to take home and read with you. The students will be asked to return their book next Friday. I will place a reminder Thursdays in their Frog Folders.

How to take care of a book:
* find a safe spot to store the book
*return the book the following Friday
*keep the book away from food and drink
*turn the pages by the corners

First Day of School

WOW!!!! What a great day!!!!! Ask your child to show you what their face looks like when they have the jitters. Also ask them what they are supposed to do when Mrs. Newman sings "Peanut, Peanut Butter".
I sent their "Frog Folders" home in their back pack today, make sure it comes back to school tomorrow. This will be our main line of communication throughout the year. It will go home and back to school every day.

Open House

It was wonderful to meet so many of you at Visitation on Friday. For those who could not make it I am really looking forward to our first day of school on Tuesday Sept. 6th.

• A number of  parents asked about volunteer opportunities. I will be sending out a schedule of days and times as soon as the students and I are comfortable with our daily schedule and routines.
• I will be providing snack for the first week of school. After that the students will be responsible for bringing in their own healthy snack
