Tips for Reading at Home 3

Hello! We are excited to

welcome you to our
Kindergarten class. My
name is Mrs. Greer and I
will be your teacher.
Another face youll see in
the classroom is my
assistant, Ms. Gamez.
Were looking forward to
all the fun learning we will
be doing together this
year.
One of our favorite characters is Miss Bindergarten.
Just as Miss Bindergarten got ready for her students,
we have been busy preparing the classroom for your
arrival. Everything is ready, and ALL WE NEED IS
YOU! We wonder what your favorite activity will be in
Kindergarten?
We cant wait to see you!
Mrs. Greer and Ms. Gamez

Lunch
Time

We would like to make a few suggestions concerning our Kindergartens

lunch routine.
1. Please TALK to your child about what he/she prefers to eat.
2. Please send ALL UTENSILS that your child will need.
3. Please make sure that your child can OPEN/CLOSE his/her
containers.This promotes INDEPENDENCE and RESPONSIBILITY.
4. We can not refrigerate or heat the childrens food.
5. If a lunch is left at home we will provide a sack lunch from the
cafeteria and charge it to your KOA account.
