Dear Parents,

 

Our firsties are busy, busy, and more busy. During class, we have begun spelling and learning more about about blends- bl, cl, fl, gl, and sl words. After discussing this concept, I am encouraging the class to write them in their work.

 

Please keep in mind our Parent-teacher conferences are right around the corner. They are scheduled for September 21- September 23rd. Here is the link for you to sign-up- https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4dafae2da0f5ce9-parentteacher3

 

Author Visit

We are delighted to announce that on September 2nd a children’s book author, Alison Fleming, is coming to San Tan Recker Campus. She will be presenting her book, Core Matters More to K-6th grade.

 

Core Matters More is a “sweet” story about a girl named Sara who struggles with being excluded because she “does not fit in”. Luckily her apple friend, Miss Gala, has a different way of thinking: “A shape’s just a shape.  Doesn’t change what’s inside!”

 

Ms. Fleming is a former Special Education teacher turned author and lives right here in the East Valley! Her purpose behind writing this book is to encourage children to think about what they care about, write about it, and share it with others. She also wants to teach students principles of inclusion and self-love.

Pre-Orders of Core Matters More are at a special price of $13 per book. To order, please print and fill out the attached order form and return to your student’s teacher with payment in an enclosed envelope. You can also order using Venmo @alisonflemingauthor and note your student’s name and teacher. Your pre-ordered book will also be personalized by Ms. Fleming before her visit.

 

Pre-orders are due by August 31st! For more information about Ms. Fleming or her book, Core Matters More, please visit alisonflemingauthor.com
