Parents as Partners Letter:
Summer Volunteers Needed

Dear Kindergarten Parents:

I am expanding our poetry “I Can Read” notebook program for next Fall and will be making several new poetry and song charts for our classroom.

I enjoy creating new kindergarten materials over the summer; however, help is always appreciated!  I could use some assistance in the following areas:

• Making word cards for pocket chart rhymes
• Lettering language charts
• Illustrating language charts
• Coloring Big Books
• Photocopying poetry pages and organizing them in files
• Punching holes in poetry pages and adding reinforcers
• Cutting and stapling Little Books
• Making and laminating enlarged little books for student reading boxes.
• Making blank folded books for our writing center

Many of these projects can be done at home or we may schedule a few “kindergarten work parties” at school.  Please email or call me if you are interested in helping.  I look forward to getting to know all of you.

Enjoy a playful summer with your family.
Warmly,

P.S. To better understand how your child will be using the “Poetry I Can Read” Notebooks in kindergarten, see the photo essay Poetry “I Can Read” Notebook.
