Dear Families,

Today we had a fantastic first day of school.  All 20 students were eager to learn and explore our  kindergarten room.

Here are a few helpful hints for this week:

• Please make sure that your child lines up on the #4 on the side south blacktop.  Thanks for doing such a great job this morning.
• Please say your goodbyes to your child outside.  Kindergarten is all about being independent!
• Dismissal will be at 11:45 a.m. this week.
• Please pack a healthy snack for your child.  No cookies, chips or candy.
• If your child would like to bring a water bottle to school, that would be fine.  Please mark the water bottle with your child’s name on it.
• I will be doing individual screenings on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday this week.  Each screening takes about 15 minutes.  I will make sure to bring the sign-up sheet outside at arrival time.
• Please make sure that your child returns his/her red folder to school, along with the dismissal sheet and student information paperwork.

This morning we read the story, The Gingerbread Man Loose in the  School by Laura Murray.  Then we had to look for clues all around the school.  This was a wonderful way to become more familiar with the school as well as meet important people at Lindbergh.  Ask your child about where we found the clues and what did the Gingerbread Man leave for us in our classroom.

Here are some pictures of us exploring our classroom.

Enjoy the evening!
