First Week

Everyone has been doing a great job their first week of kindergarten! We are all learning the rules and how to be respectful in the classroom.

Since it has been so hot outside, I recommend sending a water bottle with your child each day. Just makes sure you write their names on them so I know who they belong to.

Everyone needs a snack everyday. Due to allergies, we do not do community snack. If your child is in kinder express, he or she will need 2 snacks a day. Please keep in mind that snack time is only 15 minutes and this includes recess. Sending a large snack such as a lunchable might not be the best choice since they will not have time to eat the whole lunchable.

Every Thursday we have PE. Everyone needs to come in closed toed shoes so they can participate.

Please make sure you are signing off on your child's behavior chart each night. This way I know you are seeing what color light they get each night and don't forget to praise them when they get a green light! I will be cracking down on behavior towards the end of the week so don't be surprised if you see a yellow light!

We are still in need of pencil boxes. I am hoping to get enough for each student to have their own pencil box to keep their supplies in their cubbies. If you are able to donate a couple, I would appreciate it!

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me! Since I am at two schools, email will be the quickest way to get a hold of me and then I can call you back since I never know which school I will be at when you call.

Thank you for your support!
