- Please keep an extra set of clothes (undies and socks included) in your child's backpack at all times. This is not just for bathroom accidents, but if they spill something on them at lunch, slip in the mud, someone else spills something on them - they will feel comfortable in their own clothes. Please also make sure that the extra clothes fit and that they are weather appropriate (pants and long sleeves in winter).
- Label backpack, lunchbox, sweater or jacket tags clearly with first name and last name's initial.Please do not send valuable items that you do not want lost to school.Kindergartners will be learning responsibility and accountability so they can keep track of their belongings, but it takes some practice and time.
- Read to your child every night! Help your child build his or her confidence by having them find words on the pages that he/she knows (sight words), by reading to you by looking at the pictures, and eventually by reading entire books to you! (Try to resist the urge to correct them at the beginning of the year...all I want is for them to try!!!)
- Work on sight words in some way each day. Here are some ideas: make flashcards, make a bingo or memory game with sight words, write sight words with chalk on driveway, find words in books or in a newspaper/magazine, find words while in the car or at the store, make words out of play dough, use magnetic letters on the fridge,etc.Change it up so that learning stays fun and interesting!!!
- Snacks-I will have a sign up sheet on our Meet and Greet where you can sign up for our snack rotation. Please send snack the Friday before your chosen snack week.
