K-4 Happenings
Mrs. Hornsby’s Class
August 11-15

Dear Parents,
Once again I would like to say WELCOME to a great year at TRA! As you know the first week of school can be very emotional for everyone, especially for our preschool children. This week we will focus on getting to know each other, routines, rules, and procedures. The students will be introduced to group time activities which will consist of songs, the pledge, weather and the days of the week. Everyone will have an opportunity to talk about themselves sharing feelings and likes and dislikes with the class. We will talk about manners and how to be a good friend.
In order for us to become better acquainted with each other and share in the discussions, I am sending two “All About Me” sheets home with each student. Please allow your child to assist you in completing these sheets and return them to me as soon as possible. This will enable us to get to know each other better and will encourage classroom discussion.
I would appreciate you reading to your child for at least ten minutes daily. I am enclosing a reading log sheet for you to keep track of this in their Tuesday folder. Please kindly list the books you read together. When your log is complete return it in the folder so I can reward the reading with a special surprise. Let’s Make Reading Fun!
Spanish will be their elective class for this nine weeks and P.E. will be a continuous elective for the year. I will keep you informed of our schedule and elective changes.
Reminders:
Please make sure your child has a daily snack and lunch.
Nappers and or blankets will be sent home every Friday. They must be returned on Monday. Weekly folders will be sent home on Tuesday beginning on August 19th.

Thanks so much and have a Great Week!
