Tiger's September Newsletter

SEPTEMBER 2017
Hello families! Ellie is thrilled to be working with Beth Clarke in the 2/3 Tiger Classroom this year.  Beth previously taught band class to middle school and high school students in Utah, and is eager to join the Tiger Team. We hope that you have all had a great summer break filled with lots of fun and sun. We are so excited to get started with all the wonderful learning and growing that will take place throughout the school year! We would like to welcome the children who are returning, and the new children that will be joining us for a fun-filled year. During the school year, the children will have the opportunity to interact with friends, as well as work on their homework and independent reading during a designated time while at HEDP. They will also have time each day to run around outside (or inside on rainy or extremely cold days) to get out some of the energy of the school day.
    The Tiger Team is very excited about the upcoming school year and has planned activities that foster a positive learning environment. During the first month of school the children will be participating in cooperative games and activities that will allow them to get to know each other and teach them how important it is for us to all work together and be good friends. Through team building games and activities that the teachers have planned, we will be looking to start the year off in a positive way with all the children working together and learning about one another. We will also collaborate as a class to agree upon a set of rules that will be used as the guidelines for the way everyone is expected to act while at Extended Day. We are very excited to be in a new space this year using the library as our classroom! We believe that this will allow us to do a wider range of activities, furthering the growth of the Tiger Team children.
    Please feel free to bring in a change of clothes for your child, tucked in a large Ziploc bag and labeled. Also, please make sure that as the weather changes that children are dressing appropriately because we try to go outside every day to enjoy some fresh air.
    A couple of reminders this month…
* Your child’s safety is one of our main priorities. To help us with this, please remember to sign your child out every day. The sign out book will be located inside the library along with a sign showing the location of the 2/3 Tiger class at that time.
