Happy Monday! We had a wonderful day today. We studied the artwork of David Hockney (who is famous for his pool paintings) and painted swimming self-portraits. I think they are all adorable. You can see them up close in the hallway outside our room.
Your child should be bringing home a September calendar that we filled out in class today. Each month, we will be creating a calendar page that they can take home and put on their wall.
You can also ask your child about the book Ish that we read today. We learned that our artwork doesn't have to look like anyone else's and that it doesn't even have to look exactly like what we are trying to draw. For instance, our swimming portraits look self-portrait-ish.Curriculum Night:
Tuesday at 6:30 pm. We will be going over the 1st grade curriculum, 1st grade expectations and any other questions that need answering. There will also be a chance to sign up for your Teacher-Parent-Child Goal setting conferences. They are quickly approaching, Oct. 3, 4, and 6th. Be thinking about a time that works well for you and come prepared with a few good time slots.
SANDBURG STUDENT HANDBOOK:
Please take a minute to look through it with your child, sign the single paper and return that to me. You and your child have hopefully taken a chance to look through it together.
VOLUNTEERING IN THE CLASSROOM:
YEAH! We are so glad to know there is interest and enthusiasm! We will have our sign-up sheet available at Curriculum night and plan on getting volunteers scheduled and ready to go the first week of October. Until then be thinking of how you might like to contribute to this great bunch of kids! Also, there will be many opportunities that PTSA will be requesting support from parents throughout the year. Maybe this is the job for YOU! J
If you have any questions please let us know. Have a great day and we’ll see you Tuesday
