Classroom Information
Thursday Folders- Your child will bring home a Thursday folder every Thursday. Please remove all the papers, read the information and return the folder to school on Friday. If you need to send anything to school (permission slips, papers for the class or office, etc.) or if you are sending me a note, put it in the folder and I will get it on Friday.
Snack- You may bring a small, healthy snack daily for your child to have in the afternoon.
Library- Please help your child remember to return his or her library book on or before library day. Children who do not return their books will not be allowed to check out a new one.
Birthdays- We love to celebrate birthdays in Kindergarten! While we do not celebrate with treats, we will sing and celebrate with your child. If your child's birthday falls on a weekend or a day that we are not in school we will celebrate either right before or after. Summer birthdays will be celebrated during the year. You may pass out invitations to parties only if you invite the entire class (or all the girls or all the boys). If you have invitations for individual children and not everyone in the class please deliver outside of class.
Appropriate clothing- When the weather starts to cool down please make sure your child has appropriate clothing for recess. Also, please be sure it is labeled with your child's name. It is important that you practice tying shoes, zipping zippers and putting on snow clothes at home too.
Change in Routine- Please, please, PLEASE be sure to let me know if there are any changes in daily routines for your child (going to a different place after school, new baby sitter, parents out of town, etc.) even if the change is just for one day. You can either write me a note or email me. I will make sure your child gets where he or she needs to be. Also, please let me know of any changes that may affect your child (death in the family, changes at home, etc.) as these changes often affect your child at school too.
