August 28th - September 1st

It's been wonderful getting to know all the kids and their fun personalities! Last week we got a chance to visit all the specials classes, get to know the school building, and figure out the daily schedule. Thanks to everyone for your patience as we get all the kinks worked out.

This week we start working on more academic things and begin some of our curriculum. We will also have a respect assembly on Thursday morning at 8:30 am. During the Respect Assemblies, we recognize students (one from each classroom) that have demonstrated attributes of the monthly character trait. The trait for August is respect. Kids can wear jeans on Respect Assembly days!!!

There are a couple of things that I just wanted to remind everyone about…

1. Please remember to send two snacks and a water bottle everyday. Our classroom is nut free. Please send snacks that do not contain nuts. Also, please do not send cupcakes, cookies, or candy for snacks.

2. TPAAK has a student dress code. You can find the guidelines on the school website at www.tpaak.org . 

The school uses the Bloomz App as a whole school and classroom communication tool. We use this app for announcements, reminders, volunteer opportunities, and parent sign ups. I have attached the instructions for downloading this app (to your computer, tablet, and/or phone). I encourage you to download and use this app.

I have attached the weekly newsletter. Please let me know if you have any questions.

 Thank you to all the parents  who helped with our field trip on Friday! It was a lot of fun! 

This Friday is our graduation ceremony. Please have your child in the classroom by 5:20. We will begin graduation at 5:30pm in the cafeteria. Students can wear whatever they want.

May 8th - 12th

Our Field trip is this Friday! Please make sure all permission slips and fees are paid by Wednesday afternoon so that we can make all final arrangements in a timely manner. I will be sending home a checklist for the trip. 

We are putting a sign up in the kindergarten hallway to help with graduation needs. Please stop by after school sometime this week to see how you can help. 

Yearbooks are almost here!!! Order forms were put in mailboxes on Friday. I know that it was short notice, but orders are due by Monday afternoon.. The cost is $15.00.

We have a field trip scheduled for Friday the 12th… There are only 2 drivers so far. Please sign up on the Bloomz app if you are able to help drive. Also if you plan on driving just your child, please let me know so I can coordinate the right amount of seats needed. You are more than welcome to meet us there and then go straight home and still get counted as a school day -- if you let us know ahead of time 😄.

The Scholastic BOGO (buy one get one free!!) book fair will be at our school for a couple of days this week. This is a great opportunity to get books for this summer!

We are also talking about careers and working in the community. We would love to hear from our parents about their careers - what you do, what training/school/degree you needed, how long you have been doing it, what your favorite part of your job is, etc. If you would like to share your career with the class, please sign up on Bloomz.

Thank you for a wonderful paragon night! The kids did a fantastic job singing and performing. I hope you learned a little bit about Australia!

We have a ton of fun things lined up over the next few weeks. We have lots of volunteer opportunities and would love your help… starting with drivers for the field trip coming up 😊. Please check the Bloomz app to sign up. 

We are also out of glue sticks and could use a few more to get us through the year. If you are able to send a few in, we would appreciate it!
