First Day of Kindergarten!

We had a great first day of Kindergarten.  Whew!  We were busy!  Your child will be very tired and very hungry after school.  Don't be surprised if your child has some meltdowns!  This is to be expected, even if your child did preschool or daycare.  Kindergarten is full of many new routines, people and places.  It is overwhelming for even the most mature 5 year old!  I promise it will get better and easier.

A few things to remember:

Snack

• NO nuts of any kind. NO nut products. NO peanut butter.  A few kids had nuts or nut products in snacks today so I put them in the lunch bin.  Nuts are fine at lunch because we have a nut free table for kids with nut allergies.  
• Please pack and label the snack separately from the lunch.  The lunch bin goes down in the morning before we have snack.  It the snack is in the lunch bin it is gone until lunch time.

Folders

• We learned a lot of routines today and I did not want to teach the folder routines.  Those will go home next week.  For now, all communication will be digital.

Upcoming Dates:

September 7th:  Curriculum Night.  This is in the evening and is really important for parents to attend.  The presentation is short-you'll be in and out in a half an hour.  The presentation is just for parents, so please either arrange child care or plan on dropping your child off in the auditorium for PTO sponsored child care.  (It is usually a movie.)

September 8th: Back to School Party.  This is a great chance for you to see other families from our class and meet your child's friends.  Pizza is sold and it is a fund raiser for the 5th graders!

Enjoy the Pictures!
