What a great first day! All of the kids made a great transition into kindergarten and we had a wonderful day together. They had a very busy day and worked on learning lots of new procedures and routines. In the back-pack you should have found a paper about your child's favorite part of the first day.
This is our class blog. Now that you have found I hope you continue to use it all year long. Please subscribe to the blog by filling in the box in the upper left hand corner. Remember to check in every once in awhile to the actual blog to check out the calendar. Our blog can also be accessed by go to the ranch website as well. On this blog there are links to the district, the school web page and to a couple of other great sites where you can get work for your kids, reading activities.
Today you will receive the Friday Folder. This will be sent home every Friday with your child's work from the week and any fliers or other information being sent home. Obviously this week it's pretty light. Please read the note about the Friday Folder that was included in it.
Homework is in packet form and sent home on Monday. The entire packet is due on Friday. Homework will begin this coming Monday. If there are problems please let me know as soon as possible so that we can work it out together. I am very flexible and I want to meet the needs of your child as best I can.
Snacks: Please remember to not pack any snacks with nuts in it. We do have a nut allergy in class. Snacks should be healthy and something your child can open on their own. It does not need to be an entire lunch. We are a no juice box classroom. Please do not pack them in the lunch boxes. They may have a water bottle or milk. If you are sending a water bottle please have it be reusable and easy for your child to close. If your child has food allergies please let me know as soon as possible. Also please make sure if your child has a food allergy that they are aware of what they are not supposed to eat.
Absences: Just a note about this. If your child is sick with chicken pox (you can still get it-very mild even with the vaccine), strep throat, Fifth's disease, mono, hepatitis, pink eye, or has head lice you must notify the school immediately. We are required to notify the rest of our class by note as soon as possible.
Birthday Treats: We have a couple of birthdays before back to school night. I wanted to let you know that we are a no frosting classroom. A homemade cupcake with a little frosting is okay but the huge store bought cupcakes with tons of frosting stain the pavement when they fall on the ground. Thank you for understanding.
