Welcome back kindergarten families!
It was so great to see my little friends again! I hope everyone had a great break and holiday season! I am hoping everyone's new year is off to a great start so far!
I want to thank everyone who took the time to get me something for Christmas! It really meant a lot to me! I am beyond lucky to have a class of not only wonderful kindergarteners, but their wonderful supportive families as well!
I am beyond proud of how these kindergarteners picked up right where we left off at the end of December! They remembered our line basics, body basics and all the academic learning we had done in 2018! Kindergarten is the leader in whole class tickets for our PBIS behavior system that we use here at St. James!
Just a couple of reminders:
- Thank you to everyone who has brought snack this year!This week's snack helper will be Alice!
- I cannot remember if I have sent home the second half of the school year snack schedule! If you need another copy feel free to let me know and I will send one home in your student's backpack.
- We will begin the FAST screener for the winter on Monday, January 7th.
- I sent home a book order packet today with the students. Those are due back by January 25th. You can always order online using the code PMDLD.
- As we begin the new year, I’d like to continue to help our students further develop their independence. The first step towards this is asking that parents drop their children off in the lobby in the mornings rather than walk them down to the kindergarten classroom. Your child will then proceed to the classroom with his/her classmates when dismissed to do so by the adult on lobby duty. Thank you, in advance, for partnering with me as we help your child grow.
If there are any questions or comments, feel free to contact me at anytime.
