Drinking water & Brushing teeth

Dear parents, it has been brought to my attention that the children may not be drinking enough water during class time and that they need more time and a space for teeth brushing.

I encourage students to have their water bottles under their desks and to refill their bottles every period. Please let me know if you would like me to keep a better watch on an individual who might not be drinking enough.

In first grade its optional for children to brush their teeth after a meal, it’s not done collectively. However, If you would like I can provide a space in the classroom for the students to put their mug and toothbrush. I will give them some extra time as well.  Just send it in on Monday.

 I understand how important both these issues are to you! Please just let me know if your child needs that extra push through out the day. 

If you have any other concerns please feel free to bring them up so we can discuss together. I appreciate everyone's support for a great school year!

Recap of our day:

Language Arts - Discussed What is a sentences, why is it important to speak loudly and clearly, and why is writing important.
Math - Numbers 1 - 20 We will be practicing their written form (for example, 13 is 'thirteen')  in their notebooks soon.
Reading - Finished "Lets Go to the Moon", talked about what is a main idea and completed some pages from the phonics book. 
Science: What do we use to measure objects? Rulers, measuring cups, balances, measuring tape etc...
Students also had their first Music class with Ms. Ng!
 


 A few announcements for tomorrow:

-Tomorrow and every 2nd Friday of each month, students are allowed to come to school in casual clothing (Not uniforms), they may wear jeans or anything comfortable and appropriate for the day. Since they have PE in the morning before 10, I recommend they come in their PE uniform shirt and any bottoms they wish, and bring an extra casual shirt to change into after PE class.   

-Lunch Fee (NT$ 5,850) and Class Funds (NT$ 4,000) are due this week. Please send the envelope with your child's name if you have not done so already. 

-Friday ECA Clubs will begin tomorrow, please make sure your child has sent in his preferences for joining a club.

-Julia has sent all students invitations for her birthday party Saturday, Sept. 6th. Please find the invitation attached to their Assignment Book.

 

 Have a wonderful day!
