WELCOME TO "KINDER"GARDEN"
Our Mother of Sorrows kindergarten program is filled with many exciting learning adventures just waiting for you! Let's begin this journey together!
SCHOOL WIDE FAMILY PICNIC
Please save this date! A school wide Family Picnic will be held the evening of Tuesday, September 7, 2010. Come meet old and new friends while enjoying a picnic dinner with entertainment and fun. More details about this event will be forthcoming in mid-August.
MEET, GREET, AND EAT!
The kindergarten classes will be having a special orientation prior to the beginning of the family picnic, the evening of Tuesday, September 7, 2010. During this visit, families will be able to put away their child's supplies and have questions answered about the kindergarten program. The students will have a full day of school starting
Thursday, September 9, 2010.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES
Here is a list of school supplies needed for kindergarten 2010-2011:
LARGE book bag of backpack
2 boxes of Kleenex
1 bottle of Elmer's School Gel (blue color)
1 bottle of Elmer's White Glue
8 glue sticks
1 box of 24 crayons
1 box of 8 crayons
3 - 80 count package of baby wipes
art smock - An old shirt from mom or dad works best! Please do NOT buy a special smock.
extra clothes - We are requesting that each family send in some old play clothes to be left at school. This should include socks and under garments. In the event your child spills or has some type of accident, he or she will have clean clothes to wear.
1 beach towel for rest time (any design or color)
1 set of inexpensive headphones for computer class (Please NO ear buds for kindergartners.) Headphones should be placed in a gallon size Ziploc bag and labeled with your child's name and grade level.
WHAT TO WEAR?
There is NOT a specific uniform for the kindergarten students. Your child should wear comfortable clean play clothes to school each day. On gym days, sneakers are a must! Your child needs to bring a large book bag or backpack to school each day.
DAILY SNACKS
Parents are asked to supply their child with a nutritious snack each day. Some suggestions for snack might be vegetable sticks, pizza squares, fruit cups, or cheese and crackers. Families are also requested to provide their child with a drink each day. One option is to buy milk through the school milk program.
HAVE A WONDERFUL AND SAFE SUMMER VACATION!
RAINY DAY ACTIVITIES
Wishing you a relaxing and enjoyable summer with your family. Take some time on those rainy days to engage your child in some fun learning activities. Young children can lose up to three months of learning over summer vacation. Here are some of the best websites to help your child with readiness skills.
