Mrs. Barr’s Shining Stars News
September 26, 2011
Mrs. Barr’s Message:
I apologize to those of you who were not receiving the newsletter through your email. Always check our class website on Friday or the weekend for updates concerning the next week.
We have started our classroom jobs to help us learn responsibility. The jobs in our room are: door holder, center checker, bathroom checker, nap checker, lunch checker, calendar, weather, supply person, scrap monster (cleans scraps off the floor), and desk checker. We are rotating through jobs daily until everyone has gotten to try each job and then we will rotate jobs weekly. Ask your child what job they had each day!
Volunteers are always welcome. Advance notice is not needed but appreciated (so we can plan for you)! Mrs. Walker always has projects needing to be completed and I can always have you work with students who need extra practice.
Thanks for all you do!!!

(tune: Baby Bumblebee)
I lost my purple platypus today,
Searched around the market,
Couldn’t find him anywhere,
My grandpa peeked in a bag of groceries,
Look! We found him!
Poem:
Platypus, platypus touch your nose.
Platypus, platypus touch your toes.
Platypus, platypus touch your head.
Platypus, platypus go to bed.
Oh my! Oh No!
(tune: Rockabye Baby)
“Oh my! Oh no!” Little Duck quacked.
“Someone has moved my little pink sack.”
“Oops! I’m so sorry!” Mother Duck said.
“Your little pink sack is right over your head!”
