First of all, let me give you a tech tip. I, personally, use google as my home page on my computer. If you do this, you can set up a google account. It's free! You can use the classic home page that just has the google search box AND you can click on the igoogle link and create your own individualized home page. There is an 'add stuff' link to add different components to your page. One of these is "google reader". This is a blog reader application. You can copy the link to this blog and add it as a subscription. Then, whenever I post a new entry to the blog, it will show up in google reader, just like getting new e-mail in your mailbox.
There may be other ways to do this, but I am most familiar with Google!
NICKNAMES: I am already getting responses telling me your child goes by a nickname. This is fine. I just need to know what name you want them to be called in the classroom and what you want them to write. I will use this name to label their cubbies, nametags, etc.
Please get this to me as soon as possible via e-mail: cjlray@gmail.com since I will be spending the next few weeks preparing name tage, cubby tag, desk tags, bus tags, etc. Tags, tags, tags,.
It would be great to begin having your child practice writing their name now. I will quickly begin to have them write their name with a beginning capital letter and the rest lowercase. No time to begin like now! We will do papers on the very first day of school and we always start by writing our name!
This is a very exciting time of the year! I'm getting excited and I know your little ones are, too!
See you soon!
