Hello Everyone,

During this mandatory closure we will continue to work remotely from home, and that includes all students.  School work will be posted on the new TAB named Remote Learning to the right.  There will be a new page posted daily with assignments beginning Monday, March 16th.  Kindergarten students will have up to 45 minutes of work each school day.  This work will require guidance from a parent or guardian, but nothing will be difficult or be something that is unfamiliar.  I will be posting assignments by 8:30 a.m. daily.  All assignments will be collected up our return to school.

I am also using the REMIND app for a quick blast of information to all parents at once when needed.  If you have not done so already, please sign up for the app and using the following information to join our class. 
 

                                                 Send a TEXT to 81010
                           with the message @kinderknok

As always,  if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact as usual.  I will respond as quickly as I can.

Thank you, Mrs. Knoke

Changes of Clothes-As the weather is starting to change, please swap the current clothes and replace with seasonally appropriate ones. Please put in a gallon size ziplock bag a complete change of seasonally appropriate clothes (socks, underwear, etc.)  and put it in your child's backpack.  These will remain in the backpacks unless they are needed or a change of season happens.  Thank you for your help with this.

Snacks:

Please remember to pack your child a healthy, peanut/tree nut free snack in the morning with a small water only. No juice boxes please.

Rest Time:

Rest time is one favorite part of the day, for both the students and teacher :).  If your child would like to bring in one, quiet, stuffed friend to snuggle with, they may.  They will keep it in their backpacks and get them out at rest time.  Please no pillows or blankets.  



Daily Communication Folders:  
 
A blue folder will come home with your child DAILY.  Please check and empty it each day and return it to school.  This is one way we will communicate with you at home.

Classroom Information:

Communication (Parent/Teacher): 1. School Website and Teacher Page - I update my webpage on a weekly basis and will have it ready, at the latest, Monday morning. Please check my teacher web page each week. This is important information pertaining to our classroom and your child. There is also important information on the school website. Please get into the habit of checking both pages. 2. Folder: Each child will have one folder that will come home daily. Updates, homework, and any other classroom or school communications will be included in this folder. Please check it and return it to school everyday.

School Uniforms: Please make sure to look over the student handbook regarding the school uniform. Also, please label all sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, school bags, etc. with your child's first and last name. Also please work with them on how to zip or button up their jackets and school sweaters. Girls: If your daughter is wearing the school jumper please have her wear a pair of small shorts underneath. Boys: If your son is wearing a belt, please practice with him how to buckle and unbuckle his belt.


Bathroom: We go to the bathroom everyday at snack time which is around 9:30, again before lunch at 11:30 and right after lunch around 12:30. Please remind your child to raise their hand if it is a true emergency, so we don't have so many interruptions.
