__Easy Way to Help__ Please save all of your Box Tops. Check your everyday items at home to see if there is a Box Top, clip it, and send it in to me. (We get $0.10 per Box Top)

--Name Upper and Lower case letters (out of order) and name each letter sound

 * --Name numbers 0-20, put in order and make a set **

--Practice letter sounds...give your child a 3-letter word and have him/ her name the first, middle and lastsounds (Ex: bag: b-a-g, leg: l-e-g, put: p-u-t)

 * --Practice tying shoes!!! **

I have posted our Daily Schedule, Ways to Help your Child at Home and our Class Newsletter on the links under Navigation (on the left hand side of this screen). I do ask your patience as I learn to use the Wiki. It is part of my personal life-long learning to begin to use new technologies and I am excited about //__ trying __// out the Wiki for current information and special things that we will try to post on the page -- including photos and kids work. Please be aware that the Internet has its dangers. Please check out this link to help you learn to deal with the dangers in a healthy way. [|Our Children and Internet Safety]page can help. Perhaps the most important thing is to make sure your child doesn't have access alone (in his/her bedroom). Use the history feature occassionally to be sure that the sites visited are appropriate. Use our [|Student Links for Learing] and [|Parents Links] to find games and links that support our curriculum. As always, if you have any questions about anything, just e-mail me at amy.rugaard@mnps.org.
