"Reading aloud with children is known to be the single most important activity for building the knowledge and skills they will eventually require for learning to read."
Behavior
All of our Buckley Bears are expected to use behavior that is safe, respectful, and responsible. We use the letters in PRIDE to remind us that we choose to demonstrate Personal Responsibility, Respect, Investment in our Learning, Determination, and Effort.
Communication Folder
Each student will be given a folder that will be taken home each night. In this folder you will find their work and any notes from the day. These folders need to return back to school each day. Please check your child’s folder nightly and remove any work or notes.
Notes
If you’re sending a note regarding your child’s after school pick up or bus change, please send it in their daily folder in the morning. If you are sending lunch money, please place the money in an envelope labeled with your child’s first and last name, grade, and LUNCH MONEY.
Homework
Students will receive some homework in kindergarten. Watch for math, reading, and writing to come home in their communication folders.
Birthdays
We love to celebrate birthdays in our classroom! Students may bring in a special treat to share with the class for their special day. However, please do not send in birthday party invitations for me to send home with specific children. This creates a lot of disappointment, unless you are inviting all of the boys or girls in our class.
Daily Snacks
We have snack every afternoon. I ask each student to bring their own healthy snack each day.
Supplies
Please see our kindergarten supplies list on the next page. Daily required supplies include:
