Reminders

A few quick reminders as we continue to build routines within our Kindergarten year.

Bring Daily
Please be sure your child has their
take home folder
book bag
spelling sort
each day. Take Home Folders and Book Bags are frequently forgotten at home. They are an essential part of our school day. Please help instill responsibility within your child as they pack their backpacks each evening or morning

Snack
It is important that Kindergarten bodies are well fed throughout the day. Please be sure your child has two snacks (one on Thursdays) and their lunch daily. Many students are complaining of not having an afternoon snack. We have talked about the importance of saving a piece a snack for the afternoon. Continued conversations at home may help curb this concern. Additional ideas include: labeled snack bags within the lunch bag, a separate snack sack to carry snacks, or marked packages that are meant for morning (M) or afternoon (A) snack.

Cold Weather Gear
Fall is here with it's chilly mornings and nippy wind. Please be sure your child is dressed appropriately to go outside daily. Jackets, hats, and gloves are needed. Movement will also take place outside as long as possible. On wet days, a change of shoes (boots) are recommended so they can run and play without the fear of soggy shoes for the rest of the day. Outside shoes can be stored in the boot cubbies located next to the Recess (North) Door. As the snow comes for good please be prepared to bring snow pants and boots for daily outside play. Please prepare ahead of time to have these snow supplies ready as the snow may come (and stay :( ) when we least expect it.
