What We Did This Week
Here are some of the skills we've been working with your child:
ELA: We've continued our Letter of the Day, with students working on letters K-M. We also worked on name recognition. We read stories about Apples and the Apple Orchard.
Math: We continued to focus on the color red this week and the number 2. We worked on the shape of circle.
Writing: We've been practicing how to write our name or how to sequence the letters in our name.
Next Week we will be continuing our Apple unit and beginning our unit on Fall.

Fobare's Field Trip
I have great news! We were able to reschedule our field trip for October 10th. Everything will stay the same as before. Let's hope for good weather!
Art Communication
Ms. Foster is sending home flyers with your child's SeeSaw account for art. She will be using SeeSaw to show you pictures of your child's amazing art work. Please look for the flyer being sent home.
Mrs. D is on Facebook
I now have a Facebook account devoted to our New Beginnings program. The account is under Meagan Dupuis-Fregoe (Mrs. D's New Beginnings Special Education Preschool). I'll be sharing pictures of the activities we do as well as important information from the school and upcoming events. Add me as a friend!
Just a note: Remind is still the best way to get a hold of me. I will not be on the Facebook account very much during the day.
Sickness
If there is one thing all young children are good at, it's sharing germs. We've already experienced some of our friends becoming sick this year and we know it'll continue until June. Many times we hear a parent express worry about their child missing too much school. Please do not worry about this. We know that this is your child's first experience in school and we know that their poor immune systems will struggle to adjust. As long as you stay in contact with us and let us know what is going on, it's okay that your child needs to miss school to stay home and get better. Most of the time, we will have been in contact with you, letting you know that we think they are coming down with the bug. Home is truly the best place for your child to be when they are sick.
Remind
If you haven't updated your Remind class, please do so by texting @4ckb73 to the number 81010. Even if you were already signed up with me for a previous year, please update to the 2018-2019 class. It makes it easier to send group messages to everyone so I can notify people quickly if anything comes up.
