Welcome to Kindergarten

Welcome to a brand new year in Kindergarten! It will be an exciting time for us all. We are looking forward to all of the learning in the coming months, all the fun we will have, and the friends we will make. Please remember that it takes a partnership to help children grow emotionally, socially, and academically. There will be mistakes made and things will change, but if we are empathetic and flexible, we will come out better in the end. Here is to a great year!

Nuts and Bolts-

• We have a long day and two daily snack times. Please send a healthy, quick snack like a granola bar or fruit (No puddings, yogurts, or Go-gurts), packed separately from the child's lunch. We will be washing our hands before snacks. Most days, we will be eating snacks outside.

• Please write your child's name on everything that is brought to school.

• Most work and notes from the classroom and office will come home in Friday Folders.

• Most communication will be done over email.

• We are not allowed to have birthday treats in class, but we will happily sing out of tune to each child. You may donate a book in your child's name to our classroom library.

• Library check-out will happen every Thursday, and kiddos will get to borrow one book to be returned before the next library time.

• Volunteers are welcome in the classroom at predetermined times.

• Please feel free to connect with me and other parents after school outside the classroom if you have a chance. We are all about building a Kindergarten family
