PHEW!!!!!
Welcome to the official 2nd week of Kindergarten! Hopefully you have all gracefully made it
through and are feeling a bit more comfortable! Many thanks to those of you who donated supplies. We truly
appreciate it!!! Please look for our newsletter in your email each Monday to
find out about the happenings for the upcoming week.
Here’s what’s coming up for this week…
·
First and Foremost~~~~if you are reading
this via email, yay. If you are reading
it on a piece of paper, we NEED YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, or, the one you gave us
isn’t working!!! If
someone tells you that he/she is NOT receiving any information from the
teachers, please tell them to EMAIL us!!!
Homework
will come home every Monday and be due back to school every Friday. Your child should always complete their
homework in pencil unless specifically asked to color something in
crayon. Please do not return it to
school earlier in the week. It will
not be collected until Friday. Please
encourage your child to use a proper pinching pencil grip and to write all of
their letters with the correct top-down letter formation. Your child should be able to write their
names independently at this time. Only the first letter should be capitalized,
all others need to be lower case. If
they are not, PLEASE continue to practice daily until it is effortless for
them. Thank you!!!
·
Please be sure that EVERYTHING you bring to
school is LABELED~~ backpacks, folders, lunch boxes, water bottles,
jackets,
sweaters, sweatshirts…
·
Please
have your child use the BATHROOM BEFORE school every day.
·
We have severe peanut allergies in Kindergarten
every year. Please NO PEANUTS or
foods containing peanuts (ie. peanut butter) at snack time!!!
·
Folders~~
folders go back and forth to school EVERY DAY, except Wednesdays. Please encourage your child to put their
folder in the bucket every day. Do NOT
do it for them, as they will not learn our routine. We are trying to encourage independence!
·
Paperwork~~
If you have not returned the paperwork from the first day of school, please do
so NOW!!!!
·
SNACK~~ please
send your child to school every day with a SNACK!!!! We will NOT provide snack for your child!!
·
Parent Volunteers~~We
will have a sign up sheet for Parent Volunteers at Back to School Night. If you are interested in
volunteering in our classroom this year, you will need to be fingerprinted
with the school district. You can get
this process started early by calling them and telling them that you need to be
fingerprinted.
·
Upcoming important dates~~
Kindergarten t-shirt orders are due by August 24th (please, make
checks payable to MCA; no cash). August 25th is Back to School Night. More info to come later!
Thank you again for all that you do at home to
support your child’s learning. We
appreciate all that you do! Please feel
free to email with any concerns or questions!
Thank you!!
