La Paloma Academy is selling Entertainment Books again this year and we are trying to raise as much money as possible for our school! The books will go home today Monday, the 22nd and will be able to be sold until August 31st. If you have any questions please let me or the front office know!
La Paloma will be having it’s Open House on Wednesday, August 31st, starting at 6pm and going until 8pm. We would love for you to come by and see our classroom and check out the school! We also have picture day this Thursday, August 25th.
On Fridays your student is allowed to wear jeans instead of the normal khaki or blue dockers. The jeans need to be blue jeans though, please no colored jeans or other skirts and shorts.
The first Wednesday of every month is Dress Down for a Dollar Day. Your student may wear whatever they would like (within dress code) for a dollar. We use this money in our classroom throughout the year!
La Paloma Academy has set up an e-blogger for all of us teachers! I am getting mine up and running and so far have added some great educational websites that your students can check out while they are browsing the web. Some of the websites that are really great for kids are pbskids.com and houghtonmifflin.com. There are reading and math games for kids which are a great way to have fun while learning to read and write.
We have been practicing writing our names in class this first week of school and making sure that the only letter that is capitalized in our name is the first letter. Please work on this with your student at home!
I'm looking forward to another great week!

Week of August 15th
Welcome to the first full week of school! We are doing so much in class, I know your student must have plenty to tell you about our days and must be exhausted when they get home!
Please remember your student needs to wear a collared shirt everyday to school. It may be red, navy blue or white, but needs to have a collar. Their shirts also need to be tucked into their pants or skirts at all times! Please make sure your student knows how important this is!
Monday-Friday the homework folder will go home with your student which has work that they have done in class and letters to go home. Please make sure that this folder comes back to school each day so that we can fill it with news and great new refrigerator art!
Attached to this newsletter is the snack calendar for this month and next. Everyday, except for Wednesdays, we will have an afternoon snack in class. It is important that we have a snack for each day so if there is problem with the day that you have been assigned please let me know and I would be happy to work something out with you. Snacks that work well are foods that are prepackaged and do not have to be refrigerated. Due to health code we can not serve food that has been prepared at home. Also please no snacks that have peanuts or nuts in them due to food allergies. There are 28 students in our class and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about the calendar!
We had a great first three days of school and I am very excited for this school year! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns this year. I am easiest to get a hold of through email but please feel free to call me at school as well. I am looking forward to working with both you and your student!

Welcome Kindergarteners!
Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great summer and are ready for the very fun and exciting 2011-2012 school year, I know I am! If you did not get your invitation in the mail, we will be having a quick little meet and greet tomorrow, Tuesday, August 9th, from 5-6, in room 306. If you are able to make it tomorrow please bring your classroom supplies with you. This will help us both out. It will give me time to put everything away before the first day and you free hands to hold on that sometimes scary, but always exciting FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
If you can't make it tomorrow, no worries, we will see you all on Thursday, August 11th, at 8:30 in room 306 for our first day of school!
I look forward to meeting you all and if you have any questions or concerns please email me at: mcintosh@lpatucson.org.
Best Wishes!
Miss McIntosh
