Our nursery rhyme for the week is “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring.”

In Kindergarten we learn many new things everyday. If your child is in this class, you will receive a weekly newsletter each Monday. This newsletter contains updates and activities from our classroom and school. Also, each child will bring home a monthly snack calendar. On your child’s snack day, your child may bring ONE thing from home to “show” to the class.
Use Verbal praise to encourage your child as he/she:
- develops a positive, realistic self-concept
- learns to respect himself/herself
- begins to understand his/her own uniqueness
- gains awareness of his/her feelings
- learns how to participate in groups
- begins to learn from his/her mistakes
