Dear Parents,
Welcome to Kindergarten! I am so excited to be your child’s teacher this year. Mrs. McDonald, our Kindergarten assistant, and I have been getting our room ready and are excited for school to start.
Communication: If you have any questions at all, the easiest way to reach me is by email.
[email protected]
I check email in the morning and once or twice throughout the day. You can also send a note in your child’s folder.
Dismissal: If there is a change in your child’s dismissal routine please send in a note in your child’s folder. You can email me a change in dismissal, however, you’ll need to email the night before or early in the morning if possible.
Snacks: We will have a snack each day. All our snacks need to be peanut free/ nut free. Please send in one snack and one drink each day. Some suggestions are goldfish, apple slices, yogurt drink, and cheese and crackers. Our snack time is 10 minutes so something quick and easy would be great!
Our school day: Each day we will have whole group lessons and small group lessons. Our reading and writing time is called Daily 5. The 5 parts are read to self, read to someone, work on writing, word work and listen to reading. I will send more info about this throughout the year as each part of the Daily 5 is introduced.
Our math instruction will also include a math workshop model on some days. This math structure is wonderful for whole group, small group and individualized instruction and includes many games that reinforce the curriculum.
Super Stars:
Your child will be a super star helper for one week. I will send home a poster and a note the week before outlining the week. Your son or daughter will get to share about themselves and also help throughout each school day!
Scholastic Book Orders:
Each month I will send home book orders. They are a great way to purchase books at a reasonable cost. Our classroom receives free books and activities when you buy books too. These are completely optional. Our first book order is due September 13th.
I am looking forward to a fabulous year with your children.
Sincerely,
Jenny Cronin
