Take Home Folders:

Take home folders are a vital part of communication between home and school. In your child's take home folder you will find a monthly calendar with important dates and snack days, there will also be a weekly communication sheet that will need to be signed each night.  On the weekly communication sheet you will find classroom news for the week as well as a snack reminder & your child’s behavior for each day. There will also be a weekly newsletter that comes home each Monday.

Class Commitments

Each day we make a promise to follow the commitment for the week and put our star with our name on it in the star jar, during the day if you choose to break your promise your name comes out of the jar, if you continue to break your promise Mrs. Kitchen writes it in your folder and you don’t receive your smiley face for the day and you miss some recess time.  The next time you break your commitment there is an office referral and further consequences if necessary.

Here are the commitments listed below. Please help us keep our classroom safe and discuss these with your child at home.  It has been wonderful seeing the children look out for each other and remind each other to use safe hands, or to keep their eyes on the teacher. We really are building our classroom family community and I am very proud of the progress we have made.  I know that with your help and all of us coming together as a team and family we can continue to have a successful year.

·        We will use safe hands & gentle touches

·        We will use listening ears and follow directions

·        We will keep our eyes on the teacher

·        We will use safe feet & make safe choices

·        We will use our big voice & kinds words

Notes&Money:

Please place any note or money in your child’s take home folder in an envelope in the plastic pocket on the bottom right hand side of the folder.  Please be sure to label the money
with your child’s name
and reason for sending the money.

Class Parties & Birthdays:

Birthday Celebrations:
We can celebrate each students birthday in class, if you choose to send cupcakes or cookies on your Child’s birthday.  We will enjoy our special snack at our regular scheduled snack time. However I will not pass out invitations for birthday parties unless you send an invitation for each child in our class.
