I'll be doing a series of posts with information about different aspects of your child's kindergarten year. I will label these posts so that you will have an easier time finding the info - you can click the label (in the left-hand column), scroll down in the right-hand column and look at the titles of archived posts, or type the word into the Search My Blog box.
NNPS requires each student to have an agenda and to bring the agenda to school daily. Agendas cost $2.25 and will be available for purchase in the gym during Open House and at the school office thereafter.
In kindergarten, we use the agenda as a valuable tool to carry important info home to you, the families. You can use it for correspondence and be relatively sure that the note you write will not be lost in transit to school. Hopefully, this year the agendas will have a front pocket to hold papers and notes...it was missing last year.
Once written homework begins, we ask that your child use the agenda as the place to write the homework (by HIMSELF/HERSELF...see the Frequently Asked Questions page for more details about how you can help with homework). PLEASE do not send in the homework on separate pieces of paper...write it in the agenda itself.
I know that it is sometimes hard to fit it in the space for that day's date, so feel free to let him or her spill over onto the facing page, if needed. The agenda also has a page with a model of D'Nealian handwriting, so your child can practice the handwriting style he/she will use.
We will have a special place to store the agendas each day while your child is at school. Learning the routine of how to "unpack" and get ready for the school day is an important part of your child's adjustment to school.
As always, if you have questions, please email me (see the Contact Me page for my email addresses) or comment here. Thanks!
