The Tanner Times

Parents,

I hope you all had a wonderful break! Here's the latest class news....

*Pumpkin - Let me know if you have a pumpkin that can be spared. We are going to do a few different activities with pumpkins and pumpkin seeds next week. I figured I would check with you all before I picked up a couple for the classroom. I can promise you that the pumpkin will not be returned in one piece.  :)

*Independence - One area I like to focus on each year is independence. I find that it helps our classroom run smoothly and builds up their confidence. This month's focus is shoe tying. Can your child tie their shoes on their own? If not, please make sure you are practicing this skill at home. This will help them and their teacher at the same time!

*Conferences - Conferences are on Friday, October 27th. Click on this link to snag one of the last available slots. I can also meet with you on a different date if you are not available on the 27th. 

*Behavior Focus - We are focusing on treating others with kindness and respect in the classroom. Ask your child if they think they are treating others with kindness and respect. Also, make sure your child feels empowered to communicate to their friends and to me if they feel they are not being treated with kindness and respect. 

Let me know if you have any questions. Have a great week!
