1. September Newsletter 2017 Room 5
Happy September! It was so wonderful seeing all of you at Back to School Night on Tuesday. Everyone was so warm and engaging. It would have been great to spend more time with everyone. Tuesday night was a perfect example of professional responsibilities calling me away. I hope that I was able to answer all of your questions and/or concerns. Please remember to me at if you need to contact me. I will respond within 24 hours, Monday through Thursday. Homework- Homework begins on Monday and is returned on Friday. We do not assign homework on the weekends. Your child should be spending minutes per evening on assignments, including independent reading. Field Trip- We are working on a trip on the Niles Railway in May! This is an exciting ride for the kids, and part of our study of our social studies “Past and Present” curriculum. It’s just pure fun too! More information will be forthcoming. YAY! Volunteers- I am so pleased to announce that we have two dynamic ladies who will be our communication officers! Please welcome Abha Kothari and Shruti Gupta. Abha is Rohan’s mom, and Shruti is Aahana’s mom. I know that they are working on a parent group. This is fantastic news! H3 and Kid Power This month we are practicing “caring”. Please emphasize this important character trait at home. We have also been practicing our “Positive Powers”. Be sure to ask your little ones about Stay Aware Power and Respectful Confidence Power! Birthdays- Happy Birthday to all of my September babies: Laura, Jeffrey, Duha, Tesneem, and Ishaan! Materials List/School Supplies As mentioned at BSN, I have attached the materials list for art and science materials used in the class. Some of these materials will be shared with our science teacher, Mrs. Varma. Please consider a donation. I’ve tried to make it easy by assigning the type of gift card by your student’s classroom number (cubby number). Thanks to all for the generous supplies already donated. YAY! Thank you for your time and attention. Miss Imburgia (Chaos Coordinator)

2. Art and Science Materials List Room 5
The students in Room 5 use the following materials for various art and science projects throughout the year. Some of the materials are also used by our science teacher for lab experiments. I am asking for donations of $10.00 gift cards to Walmart, Dollar Tree, Amazon, and Michaels to help offset our expenses. To make it easy, I have assigned the type of card to your child’s student number, or cubby number. Please know that donations are completely voluntary. Additionally, I also use a lot of recyclable items. Please keep toilet tissue/paper towel rods, cleaned/label free glass jars, cleaned paper milk cartons, magazines, cereal boxes, and plastic berry baskets out of the garbage and in the classroom!
