Happy New Year! And welcome winter! As the weather gets colder, please remember
to dress your child accordingly. We will
go outside to play every day unless the temperatures / wind chills are
extreme. Also, if you haven’t packed
that set of extra clothes in your child’s backpack, now is a good time. It is still REALLY muddy on our playgrounds.
Now, back to the business of
kindergarten. Here are a few
reminders:
1.
Remind
your child about GREAT citizenship at school.
EXPECTATION #1 (Rule #1) IS TO BE KIND..
2.
Check and sign the red folder every day.
3.
Send
a note if there is a change in your child’s dismissal procedure.
4.
Send
a note if your child is absent.
5.
Homework
every night is to read for 30 minutes and log in 2 Steps. It is okay to read books that you have at
home, library books, or reread favorite books.
6.
Practice
Power Words every night so that your child can read them at Flash
Speed.
***#’s 5 and 6 are very hard to catch up once your child gets
behind.
Thanks so much for helping your child meet
with success at school!
