Here is a newsletter you can send home so parents will know what to expect throughout the year. You can download the newsletter and all of the monthly recipes here.
Dear Families,
We have an exciting journey together over the next school year! Each month I will be sending home a “family fun calendar” with suggestions for activities you can do with your child at home. Children grow up so quickly, and I know you want to enjoy this magical year by spending quality time with them each day.
The best way to help your child learn to read is to read, read, read to them. Model reading, take your child to the library, and schedule time every day to read. The reading calendar I’ll send home each month will enable your child to record those special times.
You’ve heard it before, and I’ll say it again. YOU are your child’s first and most important teacher! Children today need the same things they have always needed. They need caring adults to talk to them, sing to them, read to them, play with them, and LOVE them. And the good news is that the best things to do with children are FREE! I know how busy you are, so I’ll help you with suggestions for songs, finger plays, nursery rhymes, science experiments, crafts, games, and snacks you can try each month.
I want to do all I can to make this the BEST year ever for your child! I look forward to getting to know your family as we build memories together!
Sincerely,
