Good morning and welcome to the first day of school in the 2009-2010 calendar. It's going to be hot today, so please dress children in cool clothing. Shorts, short sleeved shirts with sleeves, athletic shoes and socks!
This week we will stay at school all week. We will be reviewing lines, sitting, quiet, eating, toileting and washing - important things to learn or review. The approach to a class, or lunch, or just arriving in the building quietly makes a big difference in a child's ability to listen later.
Here's a tip for parents: Don't carry your child from your car to the door. Your child feels much more independent walking. Carrying your child pulls him back to a toddler age and all the expectations he had as a toddler. By letting him walk, he tells himself, "I am a preschooler, and I can do this all by myself."
On the menu this week is spaghetti, breakfast for lunch, pizza, chicken legs, and fish sticks - all kiddie friendly foods. Lots of fruit this week.
We will be doing a lot of combination classes this week to figure out where everyone is academically. We won't make this decision until later this week.
Please make sure you get your health form and your food program forms to school this week.
Lots to do. I hope it's a great week for parents.
