TK Week of August 25th-29th
Thank you for coming to Back-to-School Night last night! It was really nice seeing so many of you. I hope everyone now has a better understanding of our TK program and what our TK days look like. We're going to have a fabulous year of wonder, joy, and growth. And remember, if you ever have a question I'm here to talk, call, or send an email to.
TK Names - Tkers found out their names are so special they start with a big capital letter. They also water-colored, painted, dobbed, and covered as they got really good at recognizing their very own, unique names.
New Friend - We were lucky enough to have a new TK friend join our classroom today! I was so happy watching her new classmates greet her with smiles, lead the way to new things, and include her in play. Seeing such kindness made this an extra special day.
TK Day until 11:25 am - Starting Tuesday, if you normally meet us at the grass on the lower parking lot we'll see you from now on at 11:25 am. (For our TKers who go to Little ELO/Big ELO, their day will be the same as it's been these last two+ weeks.)
Jog-a-Thon - Our annual Jog-a-Thon (Friday, September 19th) is three weeks away, and we would love your support! We need cheerleaders, bottle sprayers, and tally markers. Luckily, TK and Kindergarten get to run first, so we'll be down on the field running about 8:20 am. If you can join us please let me know. (P.S.- It's our only big fund raiser this year to help with field trips, garden time, assemblies, and more. Thank you for your support!)
Parent Teacher Club - I made a BIG goof last night by not talking about PTC. They do SO much for our school, and I can honestly say that Alta Sierra wouldn't be as special a place without them. Their active members are few, and they desperately need more help. I hope you were able to look through the blue packet you took home last night to get a better idea of what PTC is all about. (Remember - becoming a volunteer can be as big or small a thing as you would like it to be. There are lots of ways to help out and become involved.)
Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone has a wonderful three-day weekend!
