Scholastic Book Fair at school |
|
WELCOME, NEW FAMILIES TO ACLC! |
|
| PARENT NIGHTS | COME TO THE BOOK FAIR |
| Please plan to attend our Parent night program in your child’s classroom. We will give you lots of info that will be pertinent to the rest of the year. Don’t miss this one! |
Concurrent with the Parent Nights, we will feature Scholastic
books for purchase. Every child loves to have his own books,
and this is an inexpensive way to put quality books in his
hands. Besides, ACLC gets books from Scholastic, too, when you order. See the signup on the classroom door for more info. |
| Foresight Project | |
| Vision and hearing screening will be done at ACLC on Oct. 9th and 10th at no charge to parents. | |

SAYING GOOD-BYE Are there any secrets to a smoother separation? Think how it must feel to face a new class, start a new job, or join a new group… It can be quite uncomfortable—or downright terrifying! As a parent, you can help create healthy attitudes about separations. |

Walk them through it…But also be realistic and honest. The first days maybe exhausting, prompting an adjustment in the bedtime (perhaps for you, too!) |

GOOD-BYE RITUAL When it’s time to leave, it is important to make the the break and do it quickly. No matter how tempting it may be to sneak away, never slip out of the room without saying good-bye… a ritual—a hug, high five, or a discussion on what you do when you reunite… |
|
WORLD OF WORDS This is a great logical thinking exercise: Get in the habit of asking questions that have more than one right answer and that encourage more than a simple “yes” or “no”… · If you were a bird, where would you fly? · What do you think bears dream about when they hibernate?... |
WORD PAIRS Help children acquire language faster… paint and brush - bat and ball - fork and spoon - fingers and toes - bird and nest - paper and pencil - milk and cookies - shoes and socks |
