September Newsletter
Classes Engaged
Jefferson classes are busy learning our newest letter, color, shape and character word of the week. Students are doing a great job of transitioning throughout the day's activities. We are excited for our upcoming events for the rest of September, including Open House and Parent Support Group meeting. During your parent/teacher conferences the teacher will be discussing the assessment your child was given this 9 weeks. The goal of this assessment is to watch student growth throughout this school year. The assessment will be given several more times through the school year to compare the development of skill levels. This data will also assist the teacher in sending home activities that will improve skills that your child isn'y quite as strong in, as well as continuing the development of their strengths. Teachers would also like to encourage you to read to your child as much as possible and even let your child "read" to you. They can use the pictures to tell you a story.
JECC also wants to give a big thank you to all the volunteers who were able to come to the Free Fair. The first field trip was definetely a big success! Thank you to the Grandparents for coming to our breakfast this week. We had over 150 grandparents come and enjoy biscuits and gravy. We LOVE our JECC families!
