August Information: 1. Kindergarten dismissal time is 1:00 until Labor Day. We will bring the students out to the front door as a group. 2. Please let me know ASAP what kind of milk your child would like for snack. This will be the same every day. At lunch they may choose any kind of milk they wish. September Information: 1. Keep the little books that come home each week. They are great reading practice. Get your child a small basket or bin to store them in for quiet reading time. Encourage your child to read often and to start picking out the words he/she knows. 2. Book Buddies. I didn't mention these at all! Every week your child will bring home a "book buddy" on Thursday. The book will be in a plastic zip type bag. Please read together and answer the questions on the activity card. some of the books will be classroom made books with fun activity cards included. Please return the books by Tuesday of the following week. 3. Please practice shoe tying. It is a difficult skill that needs reinforcement. This is most successfully completed at home because of time and the personal attention a parent can provide.
