Dear TK Family,
This week we are celebrating
Johnny Appleseed and the Season of Fall! Please send an apple with your student
this Friday, September 29 so that we can share in an apple tasting celebration
with our TKers. The apples can be red, green or any other variety that you
like.
For those students who attend
Daycare, we would like to remind dropping off the naptime bags to the Daycare
facility on Monday morning before checking-in to TK. We are in the process of
streamlining the transfer of the students to Daycare after our school day and
the little ones struggle to carry all of their belongings across the parking
lot. Please remember to take the naptime bags home at pickup from Daycare on
Friday, so the bedding can be washed and returned on Monday mornings. J
This week we will learn the
following:
*Continue review of school/classroom routines
*Our school and class rules
*Behavior expectations
*Emergency procedures
*Our teachers and friends
*Religion – Chapter 4: We Are Special
*ELA – Letters Q through U
*Shared Reading (Literacy) – Picking Apples
*Math – Counting to 10 and writing the number 0
*Shapes
*Calendar
*Theme: Seasons
*Social Studies: Johnny Appleseed
*Science: Parts of an apple
*Songs
Behavior – As with any students who are just starting to learn the
routines and etiquette of being a student and classroom behavior, we are asking
parents to please reinforce with your children that it’s important for our
rules to be followed. We only have a short time of the day with the students
and making the most of instruction time will benefit their learning and
preparation for Kindergarten.
In addition to sitting
“criss-cross-applesauce” on the carpet, we encourage students to raise their
hand before speaking so the teacher can call on them when appropriate.
For a reminder of our general
rules, they are used with Mr. Potato Head:
*Looking
eyes
*Listening
ears
*Quiet
mouths
*Helping
hands
*Walking
feet
Reminders:
1)
Color-Run envelopes are due on Tuesdays so that the
raffle tickets can be tallied to see if the school earns the incentives on
Fridays. Remember to dress your children in their Color-Run shirts on Fridays
until the event, which will be on October 13.
2)
Also, any money that is sent to the school must be
sealed in an envelope and labeled with the student name, grade and payment
information (School Pictures, Color-Run, etc.).
3)
Shoes and Uniform: We have noticed that some of our
students are not wearing the correct uniform or appropriate school shoes. No
slip-on shoes are allowed. We would
prefer, but not require, that students wear Velcro shoes instead of laces as
often the laces become untied and this presents a falling hazard to our little
ones. Your help with this is very much
appreciated!
4) Scholastic Book Order is due on October 6.
5) The optional enrichment packets are available for downloaded in the "Current TK Families" tab. Please refer to your Back to School Night Packet for the password, or email your child's teacher.
