I hope that you had a nice and relaxing summer and I am looking forward to meeting you all and getting to know you and your students. Kindergarten is a very essential time for your child and I look forward to your total involvement in your child's education. We are going to be having great fun so please be sure to stay involved with your child's educaton.....it makes a difference!!! Parents are very important in the learning experience so feel free to stop by and hang up with us!!!
Your child will be given a folder when he or she arrives at school. This folder is the most important source of communication between the school and you so please be sure to check it every evening. This folder will consists of letters from teachers, paperwork, weekly assignments, weekly sight words, etc.
Be sure to work with your child on their knowledge of the letters of the alphabet, numbers 1-110, and their kindergarten level sight words. Be sure to ask your child about the stories read in class and always review the take home reader with your child. It is VERY IMPORTANT to READ to YOUR CHILD EVERY NIGHT!!! As always, if you have any questions regarding your child's progress in the classroom, please give me a call!!! Please routinely check this website for updated classroom information.
