Let's start 2012 on the right foot...

Parents,
Help your Kindergartner start 2012 on the right foot. Make sure your child has a clean rest towel, periodically remind your child to bring it home to be laundered. Make sure your child has working supplies in their school box. Sit down with your child and make sure they have the following:
scissors
bottle of glue
markers
crayons
optional: eraser, glue sticks, colored pencils

We will continue to have snack daily, please send a small, healthy snack for your child.

Remind your child each day of your expectations for good, appropriate school behavior each day. Hands and feet to themselves, Using their words to express themselves, Sharing things in our classroom with classmates, Respecting the teacher and classmates, Listening when the teacher is talking, and Speaking to the teacher and classmates in a kind, respectful voice.

Children may exhibit some beginning of school behaviors upon their return. Crying, separation issues, tired during and at the end of the school day. The short week will help us ease back into the groove, but be mindful that some old behaviors may return briefly.
