Helpful Hints
Snack
Each afternoon we will have snack. Your child will need to bring a snack from home. Please keep the snack separate from your child’s lunch. We have a drinking fountain in our classroom.
Homework
I encourage you to read with your child every night. Reading and talking about stories with your child develops early literacy skills, enriches vocabulary, builds background knowledge, and expands their imagination. Reading is FUN! We will be using the Monthly Reading Logs sent home October- March to record reading done at home. Our goal will be 20 books each month. Any type of reading should be included, including books read online and through apps. Pizza Hut Book-It coupons will be awarded to students that meet the monthly goal from October to March.
SIGHT WORDS- Kindergarten is an exciting year when your children will begin to read on their own! Sight words will be sent home as they are introduced in class every two weeks. These are meant to be saved, practiced, and used like flashcards. Books containing the Sight Words will be sent home weekly to read together and should be included on the monthly reading logs too.
Family Projects-Monthly Family Projects will be sent home and are intended for you to have fun with as a family. The kids love to share what they created with you at home. Plenty of notice will be given so you can plan accordingly.
Child Pick Up-If you will be picking up your child from school please notify the school office or send a note. When picking up your child the office staff asks that you wait in the hallway outside of the office for your child. You will need to sign them out.
Daily Attendance-Please notify the school office if your child is going to be absent, 847-740-5320. If you will be going on vacation please let me know as soon as possible.
