__//Swimming// __ //Thank you for sending in the questionnaires. Please note our first swimming date on Tuesday, Sept. 15th. On this day, your child should come to school dressed in his/her swimming costumes with their towels, plastic bag and change of clothes.//

**__Plastic Jars & Chopsticks!!__** We are in need of (empty & clean) plastic jars with twist-off lids. The jars should be big enough for your child to twist on and off and for the mouth of the jar to be big enough to put items in, but of course we welcome any size jars. We are also looking for used wooden chopsticks. If you have any lying around the house that you do not plan to use, please send them in. We will be using these items in one of our centers.

**__Life Skills__**Meet Mr. Prewitt, our Elementary School Counselor. He meets with us once a cycle to talk about different things like sharing and taking turns.

 **__PE__**  We’re walking, we’re skipping, we’re hopping, we’re galloping. These are some of the movements we are working on.
