Just a quick update about a few things before vacation!
Hygiene
We have been giving out lots of reminders about proper hygiene in class. Topics have included handwashing after using the bathroom, using tissues instead of fingers and keeping hands out of pants. Please reinforce proper hygiene at home- we appreciate it!
Dismissal
Please have dismissal plans finalized in the morning before your child comes to school. Of course, there are emergencies and plans need to be changed. However, we are getting numerous phone calls a day which is disruptive to Mrs. Guy and our classroom. Many children are becoming anxious and distracted when their plans are changed. Thanks for your cooperation!
Kind Words & Tone of Voice
We continue to work with the children regarding using kind words and a kind tone of voice when there is a disagreement or when they are frustrated with each other. We have been addressing topics such as name calling, hurtful insults and problem solving. This is an area where all of the children are needing support at this time.
Upcoming Dates:
