Dear TK Families,
I am excited to welcome you to our new school year. I hope you can all make it on July 12th from 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM. It is an opportunity for you and your child to visit our room and become acquainted with our school and your new classmates.

Our first regular day of school is on Thursday, July 13th when class begins at 7:45 AM and dismisses at 11:16 AM. We’re going to have a great time together!
Joyfully,
Mrs. P

Setting Limits Workshop

Discipline is the bit by bit, time-consuming task of teaching a child the sense of acting a certain way.

A friend of mine shared that definition 30 years ago and it is still true. Teaching kids the better way to behave can be exhausting and tough! Ever feel like you are the one being grounded? Are you tired of sounding like a broken record? Ever wish you had a few more strategies for discipling your children? Ever wonder why your method doesn’t seem to be working? There’s got to be a better way!

Don’t give up yet, there’s a workshop for you!
Setting Limits
Wednesday, June 7th
6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
School District Office Room 117
Call to register: 916-681-7581

Even if child-rearing has been a breeze so far, there will be bumps to overcome. All children will eventually want to see how far they can push a parent. This workshop will help you get ready. It’s the best approach I have ever used. You’ll be glad you looked into it!

I’m Back…

Dear TK Families,

Thank you so much for all your kind wishes while I was off recently. I am so very happy to report that Mr. Petuya’s back surgery went beautifully and he is well on his road to a full recovery from the herniated disk that had made life miserable for nearly a year. He has already ditched the walker and switched to using a cane occasionally. I can’t adequately explain how much life has changed so quickly! We have simply been blessed.

Joyfully,
Mrs. P

Our Read-a-thon is Monday, March 13th. Students may wear pajamas and bring a small blanket. I hope they will also bring a favorite book to share. Our goal is to garner a class total of 100 minutes enjoying great stories. I think we can do that and more! We LOVE reading in TK!

Please make a pledge at pledgestar.com/carroll/elkgrove by Friday (March 17th). Send friends and families a link to this post and ask them to pledge, too. Our PTA has wonderful plans to use the funds to benefit our entire school. We all would appreciate your support.

Joyfully,
Mrs. P

PS: You can also end in a labeled pledge envelope, if you prefer.
