What a great first few days! There are a lot of routines and procedures for the kiddos to learn and the next few weeks we will continue to make those routines our focus. There are a few upcoming items we’d like to bring your attention to.
This week your child will be bringing home a paper bag for a “Getting to Know Me” activity as well as a person cut out. There will be instructions sent home for each of these “Getting to Know Me” activities. Please return the bag and person as you complete the activity.
Rainbow writing name practice: This week your child will also take home a sheet of paper to practice rainbow writing their name. To rainbow write, your child will first write their name in red crayon and then trace over it with the next color of the rainbow until they have traced their name using all the colors of the rainbow. Please return the following Monday, 8/2 or as soon as your child finishes.
Color Week starts August 2! See the schedule below for more information.
Please remember there is NO PLAYING ON THE PLAYGROUND BEFORE OR AFTER SCHOOL.
There will be a Kinder specific lost and found in the Kinder area. Look for the light blue bin.
