Note from the teacher:
Hello and welcome to our class and webpage. The page is a work in progress. Please check the page often.
Please remember to send a jacket or coat with your child each day as we will go out for Recess unless it is raining. The weather has turned much cooler and we want the children to dress accordingly. Please do not forget to put their names
on tags. Kindergarteners often misplace things!
******IMPORTANT******
Parents, please, if you can, send in baby wipes and/or Clorax wipes. Because we do not have a sink
in the room, we go through LOTS of wipes every day. The kids are great about wiping their hands before computer, listening center, etc. We are down to our last boxes of wipes and need to replenish our stock. Thank you so much for all you do. I really do appreciate it!
