Please label all of your child's belongings with his or her name.
Clothing, backpack, lunch bag, reusable utensils, ice packs, food containers etc.
Please supply your child with a full sized backpack. I know the children are little, but the backpack needs to be large enough to hold daily items such as folder, change of clothes, lunch items, snack, artwork, etc.
Your child will be given a blue folder to be used for daily communication. It is important to check, unload, and return the folder each day.
School Uniform- PJPII shorts/sweats, long or short sleeve t-shirt, white Velcro sneakers. Please dress appropriately for the weather as we try to get outside everyday (coats, hats, & gloves for cold weather).
Nap mats and Stuffy- are sent home every week to be washed and returned.
Snack and Lunch (both eaten in our classroom):
Morning Snack- please put this non-refrigerated snack in the front pocket of your child's backpack.
Lunch- please send preferred lunch choices and help your child practice opening the containers and packages. You can also purchase lunch for your child.
Lunch Gear Recommendations:
Water Bottle with a push-button, pop-up lid-lock with straw to prevent spills.
Hot & Cold containers and ice packs will be needed. We are unable to heat or refrigerate snacks and lunches.
PLEASE LABEL EVERYTHING
POTTY TRAINING:
We provide many potty breaks throughout the day and encourage the students to use the potty as frequently as possible. The expectation is that your child is potty trained and self-sufficient, however we are sensitive to the fact that accidents do happen. It is important that we work as a team to ensure success both at home and at school. Please work with your child on being independent while using the potty!
Please send a Ziploc bag with a change of clothing, in case of an accident, to keep in your child's backpack. This should include a labeled bottom, top, underwear, and socks.
In the event of a accident during nap time, please return laundered nap mat and a fresh change of clothing in a labeled Ziploc bag with your child the following day.
