Welcome 2013!

Happy New Year!  I hope you had a terrific break with your family and friends and also enjoyed some snowy fun! :) 

This is a short week in our kindergarten classroom.  We will spend time gently easing back into the routines of our kindergarten day.  We will practice our reading, writing, math, and listening skills as we read stories about snowy weather.  

Please note that the children will go outside each day for recess to play in the snow.  It is very important that the children come to school with mittens/gloves, hats, snow pants, snow boots, and sneakers (to change into for classroom use).  Please also make sure that your child has extra socks in his/her backpack each day.  The children love playing in the snow during recess, but they do not like wearing wet socks in the afternoon.  Unfortunately, due to lack of space for drying clothing,  your child's wet snow clothes will go home each day in his/her backpack.  Please make sure to dry out the clothing each night and to pack it again, along with a plastic bag, for the next day.  A plastic bag will help contain the wet clothing each day.  Thank you for your support!

We are looking forward to a great start to 2013 in our kindergarten classroom. :)

Sincerely,
Mrs. Eileen Browne
