Classroom Housekeeping, Library Dates, and General Pre-K FYIs:

✎ Please initial your child's behavioral calendar every night and return it back to school in their blue communication folder. Christ-like behavior deserves to be celebrated. Prize Day is on Friday!

✎ Please do not send your child in with any toys or stuffed animals unless you send them in for a specific Show-and-Tell Day. Your child cannot sleep with a toy or a stuffed animal during naptime as well. This promotes distraction, disruption, conflict, and risk for loss or brokenness! In addition, I want to prepare children for Kindergarten, where playtime is lessened. We have ample classroom toys to play with throughout our day.  

✎ Please label everything... a piece of clothing, a sleeping bag, a water bottle, a lunch box, a school bag, or a show-and-tell item! Our school's Lost-and-Found is growing due to belongings without names labeled on them.

✎ Please send your child in with a water bottle and a snack (with the exception of soft pretzel pals) each day.  Please place your child's snack in the labeled bag I provided you on Back-to-School Night and put your child's snack in the main compartment of their backpack next to their lunchbox (and not inside of their lunchbox). This makes unpacking easier. Each child has an unpacking checklist to complete every morning: folder, snack, lunch, and water bottle.

✎ Show & Tell is on each Thursday (with the exception of special events, masses, etc.)! Our class typically has a theme for each week. Help your child prepare by letting them practice presenting their item in front of you and encouraging them to use full sentences by providing them sentence starters (e.g., "I chose to bring my _______ to school today because ___________.")
