Parents-

We have a lot to cover in this newsletter, so let’s get started! As some of you may know, I changed how we will be doing snack time. Each child will be assigned as our “Snack King/Queen” Your child will be in charge of bringing the snack for the entire class. (7 kids) I will send the Snack tote with you when it is your child’s turn to bring in snack. It should be a healthy and nutritious snack. Fruit Snacks are okay, but please don’t send candy or cupcakes. Also, please don’t bring in anything home made. Everything should be store bought. If you need ideas, please feel free to ask me. When your child is designated as the snack king, he/she gets to wear our class crown for the day, gets to be the line leader, and may also bring a show and tell! If your child isn’t going to be at school the day that they are supposed to bring in snack, please let me know! You will receive the snack sheet on the first day of school. It will be done monthly, and it will also be noted on our class calendar!

Another thing that has changed this year is our class parties. I will be combining both classes on days that we have parties! So for our usual Halloween, Friendship Feast, Christmas, Valentines, St. Patty’s, and Easter Parties, Class will be from 10am-12pm. ON CLASS PARTIES ONLY! This is to make it easier when we are doing all the activities, and when we have our puppet shows. I will have an assistant teacher on those days as well!

I put in a survey for parents night out, please fill it out and let me know if you are interested.

I’m so excited for this school year, and am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of your children. I can’t wait to see them grow and watch their different personalities shine!


With Love,

Mrs. Melissa
