Our First Day of School!

I just wanted to let all parents and guardians know that the students has a GREAT first day of school! We discussed school rules and expectations, centers and center procedures, morning gathering routine, etc. We will spend this week reviewing school rules and expectations, classroom procedures and routines, bathroom procedures. I hope your child came home tonight telling you about everything they did today.

If you did not send in a take home folder with your child please due so as soon as possible. The take home folder will be used to send home important papers for you to read and respond to (if applicable).

I sent home papers, mostly from the office, today with your child; please read through and complete any papers necessary. Don't forget to send back the blue emergency cards by Friday! If you need one let me know and I will send one home with your child. Remind you child not to take out any papers from their book bags; there will be a chance those papers will accidentally stay on the bus.

Take Care Everyone!

Talking with Your Child About the First Day of School

Please talk to your child about . . .

How he or she will be going home (bus #, car rider or after care). The Kindergarteners usually do not know how they are supposed to go home on the first day of school.

Staying with our class; I will also talk to the students about this in school.

If they are buying or packing lunch. Kindergarteners also don’t usually understand the concept of buying or packing a lunch.

When going to the bathroom remember to flush, wash (use soap) and dry hands, put paper towels in the trashcan, and go straight back to the classroom.
