August 11th - August 15th

We had a great first week in Kindergarten!  There is a lot to learn and adapt to in the first week and the boys and girls all did great.  We hope you were all able to see how valuable the staggered start days were all of us. 

There are a couple of changes in times that will begin this week.  Last week you were able to come in early with your child.  Starting Monday, the doors will not open until 7:20.  If your child is comfortable walking in by their selves, please allow them to do so.  There will be lots of teachers throughout the hallways to help guide them.  The tardy bell time has also changed.  They have extended drop off time until 7:45. So you have from 7:20 - 7:45 to drop off your child!  If they need to eat breakfast in the morning at school, please remind them to go eat breakfast first then come to the classroom!
Please remember to return all paperwork, signed, as soon as possible.  Please also remember to pay the required fees and send in all supplies.

You can find the lunch menu for this month here: August Lunch Menu 
Make sure to click on the August K8 menu on the right hand side of the page. 
Please refer to the weekly lesson plans and calendar on the right side of the blog to see what we will be doing this week.  We will also be visiting the counselor for the first time this week.

 Your child will need to wear their bus/car/daycare tag every day until we have learned our routines for the afternoon.  We will let you know when they can stop!  Please return it every morning either on them or in their folder. 

We are looking forward to our first full week with everyone!

August 4 - August 8

Welcome to the Blue Pod!  We are excited to get our year started.  We will be spending this week getting to know each other and our school.  We will learn routines, places around our school, how to work together in our classrooms, and many other things! 

Please remember to return all paperwork, signed, on your child's staggered start day.  Please also remember to pay the required fees and send in all supplies.

You can find the lunch menu for this month here: August Lunch Menu

On Thursday when everyone comes we will begin our unit on colors.  We will wear a different color each day!  On Thursday, please wear red.  On Friday, please wear blue.  You will be able to see the colors for each day on your child's behavior calendar.

Your child will need to wear their bus/car/daycare tag every day until we have learned our routines for the afternoon.  We will let you know when they can stop!  Please return it every morning either on them or in their folder. 

We are looking forward to a great year!  See you soon!
