Month of September

First of all we would like to say Thank You for a great start to the school year. We are heading into September with great confidence for our class and have many great activities planned for one of my favorite themes "Community Helpers." Also every couple of weeks I (Miss Porter) will have a Homeroom group during academics. We will focus on the basic letter recognition/Writing both Uppercase and Lowercase letters, cutting skills and name writing. Etc....

Every month our class will be conducting 1 or 2 very special friends to be
 "Student Of The Month" they will each receive a framed certificate to have for a keepsake.
 We will post the names of the students for each month so we all can be sure to acknowledge their achievement!!!
