What a lovely first week of school we had!  The students are really learning how to work in the classroom and beginning to understand the routines of kindergarten.

Safety Drills – We have been busy this first week of school practing our safety drills: fire, duck and cover (earthquake), and intruder.  We have been explaining to students that these are just practice and we just want to know what to do in case of an emergency.  Mrs. Young’s class will be practicing more in August when A track begins school.  Everyone has done a great job listening and following directions!

Backpacks – Please go through and take out papers in the backpacks nightly.
Review with your child and keep these papers at home.  Go Math and other papers may come home and appear to be “incomplete”. In class we may have gone through the papers in small or whole groups. These papers do not need to be returned to school but please work with your child individually to complete them.  Backpacks need to come to school empty with the exception of snacks.  Thank you!
