Scholastic Book Order: I will be placing our September order for Scholastic this Friday. Please click on my Scholastic link for directions on how to order online. If you are sending your order into school, please no cash. Only checks.
9/28 Scholastic Book Order due for September
10/5 Grandparents' Day- 11:30 Dismissal (be sure to check with your school district to see if they provide bussing)
Johnny Appleseed Celebration: We are celebrating Johnny Appleseed's birthday in Kindergarten on Wednesday. One of the activities we will be doing is an apple tasting. If you took an apple at Back to School Night with an apple item, please send it in no later than Tuesday. Thank you again to everyone for your generosity.
Homework: The first homework packet went home on Friday. It is due this Friday, September 28th. Homework is not optional. We completed one page of the pictures together in class so that the children know how to complete the activity. Please remember to help the children sound out the word and do not spell it for them!
Grandparent's Day Friday, October 5th: All parents and grandparents are welcomed to celebrate the 9:00 mass with the school children. This will be Kindergarten's first time going to mass with the whole student body. After mass, all grandparents are invited to the All Purpose Room to meet with Miss Dixon and then up to see their grandchild's classroom. Please note this is a half day and dismissal will be at 11:30. Grandparents may take their grandchildren home. Please be sure to send in a note stating this change in transportation. CARES and bussing will also be available. Please check with your school district if they will be providing busing as not all districts do on half days.
Please do not worry if your child's grandparents cannot attend. Many grandparents will be there and will love to spread their love to others.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.
Changes of Clothes
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.
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 to you at home.
Classroom Information:
Special Schedule:
Monday- Music
Tuesday- Gym
Thursday-Library
Friday-Technology
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.
Snacks: Please remember to pack your child a healthy, peanut/tree nut free snack in the morning with a small water only.
