I will be finishing individual assessment with the children this week as well as starting our focus on Deedee deer. You can help your child to develop his/her pencil grip by monitoring the pincher fingersthe thumb and pointer finger. Look for activities that will strengthen the grip of these two fingers. For example, you can challenge your child to pick up small toys or finger foods using only the pincher fingers. If youre working with dough, have your child pinch off small pieces with those two fingers only. Even popping the bubbles in bubble wrap using those two fingers will achieve the same goal. Dont forget to continue looking for opportunities to reinforce distinguishing left from right with your child.

On Friday, September 21, I will send home midterm since it will mark the half-way point through the first quartercan you believe that?! As always, dont hesitate to contact me at any time if you have any questions, concerns or thoughts on how to improve your childs school experience. The progress report will come home in an

envelope that you should

sign and return.

This lets me know that you had the opportunity to review the progress report. You may keep the progress report itself for your records. Our field trip the Uesugi Pumpkin Farm in Morgan Hill is scheduled for Thursday, October 4. If you would like your child to attend, you will need to fill

orange field trip permission form that was sent home today and return it

At our visit before school I mentioned a few ways for parents to get involved with our class. Some of you indicated that you (or a family member) would be willing to come share your occupation, hobby or heritage with the class.

Please let me know when you are able to come and I will happily work it into the schedule.
Some scarecrows and pet cats have appeared on the walls in our room. Come in when you have the chance and see what your child has been working on. The Harvest Festival is almost here!

Bring your family and friends for a night of food, games, music, face-painting, jump-houses, candy and fun. The cost is only $4 per child and $1 per adult.
