Contact Information
I check my email everyday and will respond to any email within 24 hours. My email is: ltognolini@dcsdk12.org
You can also reach me through the main office at (303)387-5225.
Please reach out to me with any questions or even send an email just introducing your family! :-) I love working with families and want to make this the best year for your child, so please stay in touch with me as we go.
I also love when you email pictures of what your family does on the weekends! Your child can share the emailed pictures with the class and talk to us about what he/she is up to outside of the classroom!
Volunteer Information
We would love help in our classroom!
Please reference the DCSD Volunteer website to become a volunteer within the district.
Please fill this out to let me know what works for you: Tognolini Volunteer Form
Thank you in advance and I can't wait to have extra helping hands in our room! :-)
Homework
For homework, please let your Kindergartener be a Kindergartener! Some ideas to try: have your child lead a conversation during dinner time, have your child practice getting dressed independently, have them help around the house with making the beds, bake together, etc. All of these will be great skills!
All I ask is that your child interacts with a book 10 minutes per night and practices our Power Words. An idea would be to write our power words on flashcards and put them around your home and have your child read them whenever they see a word (opening the bathroom door, pulling a chair out at the table, etc.).
Star Student
As a Kindergartener, it's so fun to be the Star Student! Your child will be the Star Student for the WHOLE week. We will rotate as the year goes along according to this: Mrs. Tognolini's Star Student Schedule.
Your child will complete a poster that I'll provide on the prior Friday and this can be completed at home over the weekend. They will present the poster at the beginning of the following week and it will be put up on our Star Student wall for all to see! The Star Student has special jobs all week long and the week will end with your child bringing something fun from home to share with the class! :-)
You can also come read a story to the class one day during the week and we can find a time that works for you! Please email me.
Newsletter
I will send weekly emails with updates of what our class is working on. Please read the full email as this is a great way to be kept in the loop of room 53!
