Friday is a Special Day!

Friday is a special day for kindergarten - not only do we get to come for the full school day, but we have two special activities that only occur on this day:  The first is library.  We get to sit on the comfortable library bean bag chairs and listen to a story, then each Kindergarten student gets to pick one book to check out of the library and take back to class for one week.

The second is music, with our favorite teacher Mrs. Vereschagin.  We know that something exciting will always happen in the music room.

Just a reminder that our Friday hours run the same as the rest of the elementary school:  8:30am to 12:45pm.  Please be conscious of being on time at the end of the day.  As the weather gets colder and colder, waiting outside will become much more difficult for these young children (and their teachers!).  Thank you for your support!

Oh, The Weather Outside is Frightful...

It's that time of year again - winter weather is upon us.  Please make sure that your child has appropriate outdoor clothing, as well as a pair of inside school shoes to keep at kindergarten on our shoe rack.  This will allow us to help our custodians keep the school clean, as children will not have to wear wet or muddy shoes inside the building.  It will also keep the students more comfortable, and gym time safer, if they are not having to clomp around in boots during kindergarten activities.  We appreciate all of your help and support!

Friday Kindergarten

Regular Friday Kindergarten Hours:

On Fridays, our kindergarten hours run the same as the rest of the school.  Your child needs to be dropped off at 8:30am and picked-up at 12:45pm, which are the times of the regular Friday bells.  AM and PM Kindergarten alternate Fridays.  The schedule for when your child comes is listed on the sidebar under "Important Reminders". 

On October 30, 2009, both classes will be attending for our class Halloween party.

AM Kindergarten will attend between 8:30am and 10:30am.

PM Kindergarten will attend between 10:45am and 12:30pm (due to dismissal of the entire school 15 mins early).

They need to be dressed in a costume, but do not require a lunch or a snack.  We are still looking for moms to bring in a special treat for certain classes.  If you are interested in contributing, talk to Mrs. Thomson or Mrs. D'Agnone.

Shoebox

This is just a quick reminder about a shoebox.  Each child will need a shoebox at kindergarten on Wednesday, October 14th.  We will be decorating these boxes and turning them into a "Reading Box".  These boxes will collect all the books the children make.  They can pull these books out at any time and read them.  It's a great way to practice and the books will always be in the same place!
