Important Information about Swimming

Dear Parents:

Please carefully read the housekeeping items below as there is lots of important information.

Question of the day: Comment if you have read the blog today!  

Housekeeping:

SWIMMING

**The whole kindergarten triad will be taking one bus at the same time. But our swimming program is split into two groups. The way that our swim schedule has been booked, there is very little time for a snack.

-Please send your child with only ONE dry snack instead of a wet snack.  - A dry snack is something that doesn’t need to be wiped up if spilled. A wet snack are things like yogurt, apple sauce, jello etc.

- Please choose or pack the snack item so that it is easy to open. For example, If it is a granola bar, cutting a slit ahead of time will be helpful so your child can open it independently.  

We are going swimming next week. Please make sure your white swimming consent forms have been returned. Please review the blue letter that was given to you last month so you know what you need to pack. It would be very helpful if your child ate a big meal before sending them to school.

AM class: NEXT WEEK, all AM students need to be at the kindergarten doors no later than 8:00am instead of 8:15am. The bus leaves at 8:15am so we will be letting the students in at 8:00am. Students will need to be picked up at the kindergarten doors at 11:00am.

Drop off: 8:00am at door 2 (kindergarten doors)

Pick up: 11:00am at door 2 (kindergarten doors)

PM class: NEXT WEEK, all PM students need to be at the kindergarten doors no later than 12:00pm. The bus leaves at 12:15pm. Students will need to be picked up at the kindergarten entrance doors at 2:50pm.

Drop off: 12:00pm at door 2 (kindergarten doors)

Pick up: 2:50pm at door 2 (kindergarten doors)

Signs of Spring and Community Building

Dear Mom and Dad:

AM class: Have you noticed the different signs of spring? Ask me to tell you some of the things I have noticed. Today we drew in our visual journals 4 different signs of spring. I had to draw a detailed picture and label my drawing.

PM class: Today we worked with Mrs. Southworth and Mrs. Quilley. We are working on community building skills. These skills are so important as we make the connections outside of kindergarten. We played some games that helped me learn to take turns and be respectful of others while they are sharing. We also learned a lot about one another.  

Question of the week: What is a gorilla roll?

Love,

Kindergarten

GYMNASTICS

We have a “Kids’s Move” gymnastics program in the gym this week. Students are required to remove their shoes and socks. Parents please send your child in loose clothing so that it is easier for them to move around. Please avoid stockings, as these will take long to take off and put back on. Thank you for your help with this. If your child has long hair, please tie it in a ponytail as well. Thank you.

AM class: we will be dismissing from the red gym doors at the end of the morning this week.

Gymnastics and Journaling

Dear Mom and Dad:

Today we wrote about our field trip to the bird sanctuary! We looked at pictures from our field trip to remember some of the activities we did. Ask me to tell you what I wrote about.

We had gymnastics today with Mrs. T. Ask me about all the stations we went to. I had to move my body in many different ways to go through all of the stations.

Question of the week:  What was your favorite station in gymnastics today?

Love,
