An Exciting Week Ahead at RLS!
In addition to the everyday things we look forward to at Ruggles Lane, we have two special events this week - the Grand Opening of the new playground and Dot Day! Tomorrow morning we will gather on the playground for announcements and a celebration of the playground's opening. Be on the lookout for pictures on the blog of this special occasion as tomorrow marks the first day we get to play on the new equipment :)
Ruggles Lane will also participate in International Dot Day on Wednesday, even though most people are celebrating on Monday. The Dot, by Peter Reynolds, is a wonderful story that will inspire children to "Make your mark, and see where it takes you." I am looking forward to visiting each classroom to share the story on Wednesday. In preparation for this read aloud, families could talk at home with children about what it means to "make your mark" on the world. At the end of our read aloud, children will be asked to brainstorm ways they can make their mark on Ruggles Lane both as an individual and as a class.
To celebrate International Dot Day, we would love to have RLS dress in dots! If your child does not own anything dotted, do not worry! Students can wear a dot sticker at school. If you do not have dot stickers at home, teachers will have some on hand in the classroom so all who want to, can participate.

I hope you enjoy the rest of this glorious day! Go Pats!
