Parent+Letter+September+14,+2009

9/14/2009 Dear ECE Parents, Your students all received a book that contained information about The Denver Art Museum. This books and future books your children will be receiving are all a part of The Head Start 5 by 5 Project to help develop strategies to advance family literacy. These books will help facilitate learning at home and at the cultural venues you will get to explore by using your 5 by 5 pass this year as an extension of the Head Start classroom! I have provided you with copies of the **number poems** and the **handwriting descriptions** we are going to use this year in our classroom so you can use these at home to reinforce what we are learning at school when practicing writing numbers and letters with your children. Thus far we have been practicing writing the **letters __a__ and __b__ and numbers __0__ and __1__**. On the wall outside of the classroom above the sign in sheet I have posted a Scholastic Book Order due date reminder. Please refer to this area each month to find out when Scholastic Book Orders are due. Your children will be bringing home Scholastic “Let’s Find Out” Magazines that I have ordered for the class this year. These magazines are for your children to keep and explore at home and they contain topics and themes that align with the CO State Curriculum Standards. Have a Nice Week! Molly McFall
