Welcome Back

Dear Begindergarten Parents,
I would like to welcome everybody to the Early Learning Begindergarten blog. This will be a quick and easy way for me to keep parents informed of what is going on in preschool without the extra expense of making copies. This blog shall replace the daily take home sheets that the students have brought home in the past.

For starters, welcome everybody! This year I have many many new things planned not only for our preschoolers, but our parents as well. One of my hopes is to get the parents more involved in school. Things like Muffins for Moms & Donuts for dads are a couple of my ideas. I encourage parents to come visit school atleast once during the year. I do however appreciate a call or email letting me know you are comming. It is always nice to plan bigger projects when I know I have an extra set of hands comming. :)

Open house is set for September 16th, and is mandatory for all students and parents. Morning group will be from 5:30-6:45 and afternoon group will be from 7:00-8:15. This year's theme is "The Very Hungry Butterfly," so come exlore the story with us and help the children paint life size butterflies. It will be very exciting.

Please make sure you have all of your children's school supplies with you on open house night, as well as, your Begindergarten registration packet. A reminder that no child may start school unless I have September's payment and all forms filled out.

Once again we will be doing our Tupper Ware Fundraiser. We were very successfull in raising over $1500 for our class. Please help us be successfull once again. ELB gets no aid from grants, or government funding, so your fundraising keeps our program alive. So ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, SELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL..........

This year we have become a part of Scholastic's book club. I will be sending home various book orders that you may look at and purchase cheap books for your child. Each time you order, we get new books for our classroom. If you have any further questions about book orders, please feel free to talk to me.

School Starts September 21st, and will be here before we know it... I look forward to seeing you at the open house!
