This month your child will explore the world of learning and will develop many new basic skills.  Encourage your child to practice and develop these new skills.  During the coming weeks, we will study about Fall, colors, letters, manners, Johnny Appleseed, and grandparents.  Our calendar shows when we are studying each color and letter.  We will introduce a new color every day and two new letters each week.

We would ask you to send a snack for the class each month on the first day of the month.  There are currently 18 children in the class.  Example:  If you send a package of cookies make sure that there will be two cookies for each child.  Please send the same snack for everyone.

For the year each child needs to bring the following:  1 box of tissues (200 count), 1 package of napkins (200 count), and 1 box of 5-ounce Dixie cups (200 count).

If your child is sick or will not be attending, please call before class begins.  If your child misses one day in a week, it is still to be paid for.  If your child misses 2 days in a row, he will get credit for the second day the next week.

Please put your child’s name on their coat, sweater, or any other items brought from home.  Please double knot your child’s shoes.

We will come out and get the children for class.  Please do not come inside the gate.  We will also bring the children back out to the gate after class.

School pictures will be on Wednesday, September 19^th, during school time.  Steve Sheldon will be coming down from Bloomington to take the pictures.  There will be both individual and class pictures taken.  Proofs will be sent home later and pictures can be ordered then.  Money is not needed when the pictures are taken. 

Show and Tell will begin in October.

We have a website for the school at:  http://sunshineschooloolitic.blogspot.com/.  There you can find any newsletters or notes sent home and the school calendar.  Also, if you are on Facebook there is the Sunshine School and Extended Care group for the school that you can become a member of:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/37533416890/.
