Welcome to Kindergarten in room C-8 at CP Smith! I have been busy preparing for your arrival and look forward to starting the school year! I try to update this blog most days (I usually skip Friday unless something extra special happens!). I know that it can be hard for Kindergarteners to tell you about their day so I hope this blogs helps in facilitating that conversation!
Kindergarten will begin with half-days from Wednesday, August 29th to Friday, August 31st. Dismissal will be at 11:30. Full school days will begin after the Labor Day Weekend on Tuesday, September 4th.
In preparation for the year:
• Please send in an extra pair of clothes, including underwear and socks. Accidents will happen in Kindergarten, but that is easily fixed. These clothes can be kept in your child’s backpack.
• Children should have sneakers everyday for outdoor play and PE (Tuesday and Thursday).
• Each child will have a hook in the classroom for backpacks and coats.
• Snack will be provided by the school. If you prefer, you may send a snack from home.
• School provides lunch for free to all students. Children will be offered an entree. Peanut butter and jelly or deli meat sandwiches as an alternative.
• Please label everything that your child brings to school, including clothing!
• Toys are not allowed at school as they can be a distraction.
• During drop-off and pick-up, please try to establish a consistent routine with your child to help ease the transition.
One morning a week, we will be spending time in the woods at Ethan Allen Park (more info coming soon!). Your child will need appropriate clothes and footwear to be outside for an hour. It’s not too early to start collecting winter gear! Warm snow boots, waterproof mittens, snow pants, hat, winter jacket, scarf or neck warmer. It is hard to have fun outside when you are cold or wet!
Kindergarten will visit several specialists teachers during the week (subject to a few tweaks):
Art Monday 12:30-1:15 with Ms. Stagner
Guidance Monday 9:15-9:45 with Ms. Guilmette
PE Tuesday and Thursday from 12:30-1:15 with Ms. Souliere
