** 2009-2010 Kinder parents: My class will NOT be using the Innisbrook package. I will be asking for different materials/reimbursement in the fall once I have evaluated our needs, since this is more cost effective and the products will be more relevant to our class' needs.

Ms. J's Manifesto
Through the Kindergarten school year, as your child's teacher I will:
- prepare and present developmentally appropriate activities aligned with the key CA State Standards and the Mission of CSMH
- provide a fair classroom environment based on respect and responsibility, with a discipline structure involving natural consequences to ensure a learning environment for every child
- communicate with care givers on a regular basis as to their child's needs to succeed to their personal ability
- ensure your child has adequate rest, healthy meals/snacks, play time, and bonding time with family and friends
- give your child opportunities to practice responsibility and independence
- appropriately communicate with me your concerns when they arise
- support classroom expectations and learning at home
- read with your child every day!
