Routines are an important part of the primary program. Children tend to function better if they know what to expect. I tend to be a routine oriented, structured teacher. Here is a quick overview of some routines in the class.
Timetable for Kindergarten
As you can see from the link below, our timetable is a very busy one. Most blocks are 30 minutes long. Mrs. Brucker will be teaching the children music on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and Mrs. Kurio will take the children for library book exchange on Wednesdays. Please note that changes will be made as needed.

Show and Tell
Each child is assigned a Show and Tell day and that will be their day all year long. Please see the following schedule to see your child's day. Fridays will be a "make-up" day for children who were absent on their day, or a day was missed during the week due to a holiday or field trip. Please make sure your child brings the item in an opaque bag (or their backpack) and are prepared to give 2 clues about what they have brought. I encourage the children to bring things they have made or have found or things related to the theme being studied at the time, or an item that begins with the letter of the week. It is best to leave precious toys and valuable items at home. Toy guns and pretend weapons are not to be brought to school. Use your judgement as to what is acceptable.

Library
The children will have the opportunity to go to the school library once a week, on Tuesdays. They will read a story with Mrs. Kurio, and have the chance to sign out 1-2 books. They will not be permitted to sign out new books, unless they have returned their books from the previous week. Please return the library books in the protective bag in which they were sent home with. You will be responsible for any lost or damaged library books. |
Outside Play and Outside Explorers
We will go outside to play everyday as well as doing some learning outside. Please make sure that the children are dressed for the weather, as we will go outside unless it is pouring rain, or freezing cold.
Gym
We will be going to the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please make sure their indoor shoes are appropriate for running and jumping around in.
