9/1/2009 Dear Wonderful ECE Parents, Welcome to September! This week we have been learning the letter A. We went to computer class on Monday and used a program called Starfall. This program helps with letter recognition. I printed you all copies of worksheets/activities that came from this program to enhance your children’s learning. **The worksheets are not homework** **and do not need to be turned in.** They are meant to be fun activities for your children to do and meant to be kept at home. If you are interested in accessing the program we use in school on your computer at home you can find it at: [|**www.starfall.com**] ** Please remember to turn your __filled out__ August homework calendar in to myself or Mrs. A. ** If you complete these we can submit them to the Federal Government and they will give the Head Start Program additional funding. **(If you are not sure how to fill it out please check the bulletin board to the left after you enter the classroom for an example).** You can also place it in my mailbox located next to your mailboxes. I have placed the new September homework calendar in your mailboxes. ** Next to your mailboxes I have placed a blue basket market “Thursday Folders”. ** Please return your red Thursday folders to this basket every Monday. Our class has received new blue laundry bags that your children will be placing their sheets and blankets in every Thursday to bring home and be washed. Please bring your child’s clean sheet and blanket in these blue bags every Monday. I have placed a blue plastic basket next to the Thursday Folder basket that is marked **“Laundry Bags”** for you to put your child’s blue bags in on Mondays. Your children are doing a wonderful job of learning the school routine! We have just received our new student mailboxes so now your children can check their mailboxes while you check yours! ** Reminder: ** If you are interested in placing a **Scholastic book order** please return the order to me by **Thursday Sept. 10, 2009** or ask me for the class login and password and you can order your books online! Have a Great Week! Molly McFall
