KINDERGARTEN!
Ms. Okomas Kindergarten Newsletter
I expect each student to take 100% responsibility for their actions, and I expect each student to come in ready to do their absolute BEST! I will share more of my expectations in each newsletter as the year unfolds! Stay tuned!
Classroom Expectations
Your child is in Kindergarten now, and this is the beginning of taking FULL responsibility for their academic and personal success. I will show them how to do this by guiding them every step of the way! As parents, please keep up with what goes on in the classroom through my newsletter and daily communication folder, but MOSTLY, by taking the time to VOLUNTEER and show your involvement. There are many ways in which you can volunteer this year, and I will have sign-up sheets in the class so you can choose to help with an activity or event that fits your schedule. Thank you in advance for what I know will be a dynamic year. Sincerely, Ms. Pamela Okoma Your Childs Kindergarten Teacher Panola Way Elementary School
Communication Plan
My #1 way to communicate news, events, incidents, and happenings in the class will be through our Teachers-Parents Communicator Folder. This folder will be sent home every day (EXCEPT Friday), and I expect each parent to review the information in the folder and SIGN that they have reviewed the information, and then return it to school with their child. Apart from the folder, I am very flexible with communication, and I can easily be reached through the classroom phone, personal cell phone, text message, e-mail, and face to face classroom visits. Please feel free to communicate with me about your child!
This week, we will continue to learn about classroom rules, but we will also focus in on shapes and five sense. With shapes, we will count them,,, compare and contrast them, and learn how to describe them by their attributes. With our five senses, we will learn how to use them and incorporate them in our daily activities.
Reminders to Parents
Students may enter the building by 7:00am, and breakfast is from 7:00 until 7:25am. Students will then be dismissed to the media center to wait for the 7:30am bell. Students may arrive to the class by 7:30am, and are expected to be in class by 7:45am every day. Students are late after 8:00am. Continual tardy will result in intervention and consequences.
