A few other reminders:

--Please DO NOT work ahead, we are trying to pace the kiddos. We want to make sure the students are finding a good balance between schoolwork being fun yet challenging.

--Encourage your child to remain muted until called upon.

--Please refrain from having your child eat while on a zoom, or bring items and toys to show to the class.

--Treat this time as school, encourage your child to have the same behavior that is expected in the classroom.

--Children thrive on a solid and consistent routine. Getting them dressed, fed, and fully awake before our online school begins will allow them to continue to have progress this year.

--In kindergarten, we are always working towards independence. We need your help to encourage this by not spelling for them or telling them what to write or draw. We look for effort mostly, misspelled words are not only expected but admired:) You will be surprised by the creative spelling they can do.

--We talk about this OFTEN in the classroom. We write in pencil and color with crayon. Encourage your child to have an eraser with him/her and use it to make sure their best work is on every page.

--Markers are very cool but are only to be used with certain worksheets.
