A Note From Our Principal
Summer has come to an end and another school year is upon us. We’d like to extend a warm welcome to our new families, and a sincere thank you to returning families and those that chose to spend their summer with us. We enjoyed making memories with your children and are looking forward to spending the fall season together.
Sincerely,
Fall Cubby Refresh
It’s starting to get cooler and we are planning extra outdoor time to take full advantage of the fall season. Please make sure your child has a weather appropriate change of clothes in their cubby and outerwear when applicable.
Join us for our Virtual Speaker Series – “I’m Talking But They’re Not Listening”
on Sept 30, 4 PM PST / 7 PM EST
Do you repeat yourself often, try multiple ways to get your child’s attention but find they are still not listening? You’re not alone. Parenting expert Susan Stone will share specific communication tools to improve your child’s ability to listen to, understand, and respond to requests. Register today at https://conta.cc/3jDn7AS.

Book of the Month Club
Our wonderful Assistant Principal, Mrs. Babette Carelock has chosen her favorite children’s book, Jamberry by Bruce Degen.
“I used to read this book to my son. I love it, because the interactions that we would have at bedtime, such as making the sounds of the animals and identifying the colors of all the berries.”
D.E.A.R. Mystery Readers
We love creative ways to help our families remain connected while being part of the educational process.
We will send out a link for Sign-Up Genius for parents to select a time to be a D.E.A.R. MYSTERY READER for your child’s class.
But…SHHHHHHH!
It’s a secret! The class never knows whose family member is going to Zoom-In and be a surprise reader.
You select the book that you would like to read on Zoom and you can be as fun, creative, over the top and SILLY as you like…the more the better!
Times to read will be available via Sign-up Genius.
Labor Day
Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter and labor union leader, was the person who came up with the idea for Labor Day. He thought American workers should be honored with their own day. He proposed his idea to New York’s Central Labor Union early in 1882, and they thought the holiday was a good idea, too. Source: http://www.americaslibrary.gov/jb/gilded/jb_gilded_labor_1.html
International Greetings
Starting this month, we will learn a new way to greet our school community in a different language from around the world. For September, we say, “hello” in Swahili, a language from countries around Africa.
To say hello in Swahili, say jambo. You can also say hujambo (pronounced hoo-JAHM-boh) if you want to greet someone more formally. Habari (pronounced hah-BAH-ree), which literally translates to “news,” is often used to say hi too.
