Reminders
Our classroom was kind of cool today so you may want to send in a sweater. Students will be able to go to the library in the morning before the bell and during our literacy block.

Students start on Ready and move up the chart. By Friday they need to make it to purple to participate in Fun Friday. This past Friday the students were able to choose movie room, game room,playdough ,arts n crafts and computer lab. Those students who did not make it to purple had to go to the thinking room. These students participated in a lesson teaching positive behavior.

Welcome to Kindergarten!
We are so excited to be working with your student this year in Kindergarten!
During this first full week together we have been learning classroom and school procedures as well as creating some classroom rules. These rules will help keep our classroom safe and orderly, allowing an environment for every student to learn.
We have been visiting one of our specialist each day. Please check the specials schedule and dress your child accordingly. If you have not sent an art shirt to keep at school please do, or dress your child in clothing that you do not mind getting messy on Art class days.
If you have not had a chance to look over the Kindergarten Packet please take some time to read over it and email me or write a note with any questions you may have a concern about.
Remember to check the Daily Folder and return to school daily. If your student is a bus rider please leave the bus tag on your child's backpack. Students in kindergarten and 1st grade wear the bus tags for the first 20 days of school.

Early Checkout Reminder
Checking Out
If parents need to check students out of school early for an appointment, the student must be checked out in the office by 3:00 p.m.. The office will be closed at 3:00 p.m. each day for student check out. The reason for this procedure is student safety. In case of an emergency, parents may call the office at 890-7333. A staff member will return your call if necessary. We discourage early check outs and late arrivals but understand that they may happen a few times each year.
