New Beginnings Class Newsletter
For the Week of 1/26
What We Worked On
Read Aloud- We read the story "The Mitten" and had fun acting out the story. We worked on matching animals' defenses in the story to the animal. We worked on sequencing events in a story.
Skills- We reviewed the letter "L" and the number "9". We've continued to review all our colors and shapes. We've also continued to work on our January assessments. We will be sending home Progress notes at the end of the month. If you'd like to have a conversation with me about your child's progress, please let me know and we'll schedule a time to talk.
What Can I Do?
When your child is done with an activity, such as playing with a toy, have them help you to clean up. If they are done eating, have them bring their plates and cups to the sink. You're encouraging your child to take care of themselves and it will help grow their independence.

Sickness
Please let us know when your child will not be able to attend school. It helps us to track what's happening in our room and it let's us know if we need to wait for a bus in the morning. Thank you!
Closings and Delays
If your home district closes or delays, your child will also have a snow day or delay. Please contact First Student to determine when the bus will arrive for pick up.
If Gouverneur dismisses early, your child will also be dismissed early. I will again let you know through Remind.
If your home district dismisses early, but Gouverneur does not, your child will remain in school until 2:30. You are welcome to come and pick your child up though.
Dressing for the Weather
It can also be on the cooler side in our classroom so you might want to send in an extra sweatshirt for your child to keep here.
Remind App
If you have used Remind in the past with me, please update to our class for this year. Here's what you need to do:
- Send a text to the number 81010 with the message @3h29992
- Download the Remind app and then put in the code "@3h29992" to join our class.
