Hello! My name is Miranda Ericson, and I am the kindergarten teacher at Jeffrey Elementary in Osceola, Nebraska. This site can be used to learn more about me, and if your child is in my class, I will occasionally post some resources for home learning opportunities and information about what we are doing in class! I cannot wait to meet my students this year!
Notice that the items listed first are items that are "yours". These supplies will need to have your child's name on them so we don't get them mixed up with other supplies. The second list has items that will be part of a "class stash", so everybody will share those items and then we will distribute the supplies we have left evenly at the end of the year so you can have them back!
In addition to the list, your child will also need to bring a water bottle to school EVERY DAY! It will not be kept at school.
Open House
Please come to Open House on August 13th any time from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. If you would like to bring some or all of your school supplies/extra clothes/rest mat that night so the first day isn't as hectic, feel free! Our classroom is down the hall closest to the Daycare and the New Gym. Hope to see you there!
Watch for a back to school letter in the mail from me! One letter is for your student, and two are for you (parents)! Please read the letter to your child, and if you have time, help your child to use the addressed and stamped envelope to mail me a photo/drawing/letter of something that he/she did this summer!
This year, I also attached another letter with a list of skills on the back of things we will want to know by the end of kindergarten! Your child does not have to have all of these mastered on the first day, it is just a guideline for things to practice at home if you wish!
If you do not receive a letter, that means I do not have your address. Contact the school office to be sure we have your mailing address so I can get a letter sent to you! I have the back to school letters here below if you want to take a look!
