Monday's Tattler

Lots of things in the hopper this week. It's our zoo week. We will be taking a field trip to Mesker Park Zoo on Friday September 18. We will be leaving school on a school bus at 10:00 and returning about 1:00 p.m.

This week we are getting ready for Grandparents' Tea. We are learning songs and working on invitations and decorations. It's a lot of fun! A questionnaire went home today about grandparents' addresses, age, and something special about them. We need this back by Friday.

We will have two more guests coming: this week a special guest of Miss Amy's, and next week our illustrious vet, Dr. Rege, is coming to talk about animals. The children seem to really love these visits, and that's why we decided to take them over several weeks. If you have someone you think would like to spend twenty or so minutes talking to our school, let us know.

Please dress the children for afternoon weather. It is still really hot on the playground.

Please remember that we are still counting in the beautiful baby contest. Your pennies help your child win, and they help our playground goal for a new piece of playground equipment get closer!

Please remember to work with your child on counting as high as he or she can; naming the upper and lower case letters; and writing upper AND lower case letters from top to bottom. It DOES make a difference.
