“BOB” books help keep us organized. The three-ring binder houses a homework folder, newsletter/take home papers folder, and other items that assist with communication between home and school.
We eat BREAKFAST in the cafeteria from 8:00-8:15. Please be on time.
Please bring a BACKPACK or BAG of some type to school everyday.
If you would like to send a BIRTHDAY treat with your child on or near his/her birthday, please feel free to do so. These treats will be eaten during our snack time. Birthdays are recognized during our calendar routine as well. We will recognize summer birthdays at the end of the school year. Please do not send birthday party invitations to be distributed at school unless all children receive an invitation.

DISCIPLINE is simple. We work hard as a class to make the classroom a positive and safe place for all. Our classroom motto:
We are all safe, we are all important, and we all share.
Our class rules:
1. Sit quietly on the carpet (so we can listen and learn).
2. Hands and feet to ourselves (so we don't hurt anyone).
3. Walk quietly in the hall (so we don't disturb the other classes).
4. Clean up after ourselves (because we care about our classroom).
5. Use an inside voice (when we are inside).
6. Raise your hand (when you want to ask the teacher a question or tell her something).

Students will have some HOMEWORK in Kindergarten. Homework assignments will vary. Unless otherwise noted, please return the homework the following day.

INDEPENDENCE is a goal for students because it builds self-esteem and self-confidence. Kindergarteners are very capable of doing many things on their own and I encourage them to do as much as they can for themselves in the classroom. Please work on the following skills at home with your child: zipping, tying, dressing, etc.
ILLNESS-The question of when to keep your child home from school is often a difficult one, especially when decisions must be made first thing in the morning. It is important, however, to keep your child home if he/she is ill. This helps to make them more comfortable and prevents others from becoming ill. Children function more effectively in the classroom when they are healthy.
School policy is that children must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. The policy is the same for cases of vomiting or diarrhea.

Writing takes place every day in kindergarten. One way we accomplish this is through free writing in our JOURNALS. Encourage your child to write at home for a variety or purposes.
