Welcome to Kindergarten
Kindergarten is a most exciting time for the children.  There are new experiences, friends and activities to do.  This can open a world of
opportunity for children and their families.

Communication is an important process for parents and the school.
There are many ways for parents to learn about their child's education
progress and school involvement.  First be sure to look in your child's
backpack daily.  All school communications concerning upcoming
school events, calendar changes, parent involvement, student work and
teacher-classroom notes will be sent home.  Taking time daily to review
with your child these notes and reminders, is an excellent way for you to
be part of your child's education.  If you have questions or need clarification
about any notices, please feel free to contact Mrs. Parenteau. 

The Kindergarten team of Mrs. Fournelle, Mrs. Birchland, and Mrs. Parenteau,
work together to plan curriculum, team teach, and  support your child's educational plan.  We also work with an ELL teacher to support any language needs to provide additional service.  Our aim is to give your child the best educational practices possible.

We will be learning to read, writing each day and working in math.  Your
child will be continually assessed in each area.  This will provide me with
necessary information to provide your child with support and enrichment
that will meet their  needs. 

As always as parent-school partners your help is appreciated. Children should be able to tie their own shoes, dress themselves, do their homework, and practice writing, reading and counting at home. This practice will allow your child to do their best.

Here's to great learning!

Homework
Homework is an important part of school.  Each Monday, your child will bring home a page marked Homework.  This is a practice sheet to review and
work on related skills.  On Thursday of each week, your child will bring home
a book to make and read.  These books are reviewed in class and will be good
practice.  Your continued support is appreciated.
