KINDERGARTEN SCHEDULE
We have been gradually moving to integrate our Kindergarten schedule of learning, play, music, phys. ed., snacks, and lunch to match that of the other classes in the school. One of the most important times for us is beginning our day together, and I am very appreciative that you have been bringing your child to school early enough to allow our morning routine to run smoothly. If you need to speak with me, I am happy to schedule a meeting after I can ensure the Kindergarteners have either departed with the BASC Director or have been picked up, as appropriate. If there are any changes to your child’s pick-up schedule, please let me know.
If you notice that your child’s eating patterns aren’t back to "normal" in the coming weeks, please let me know and we can discuss strategies to assist him/her in developing the comfort/independence/focus/decision making/environmental changes necessary to assist them in this growth. Discussion about healthy eating, rest, and sleep habits are a natural inclusion of the Kindergarten curriculum. Children usually benefit dramatically from reinforcing discussions at home about taking care of our bodies: taking the time to give them the nutrition and fluid they need, listening to the body’s cues for using the toilet, and using our time at school with all our Kindergarten friends wisely to ensure we have enough energy to work and play together! Kindergarten is a big step from being at home or at preschool or daycare. We are working very hard to help all of the children be successful and age-appropriately independent. They are making incredible strides in their journey here at Kindergarten!
The Kindergarteners have already made good progress in following their morning routine. Thank you for your already impressive support of allowing them to bring their lunch kit and bookworm bag into the classroom; most of the children really enjoy showing parents how they do things in Kindergarten.
