Homework is sent home every Monday and due the following Friday. Kindergarten students need assistance with reading directions and practicing letters and words. Parents are so important in the academic success of children. Thank you for all that you do!!
See the LES and CCPS Websites for important information and Links to help your child SUCCEED.
Snacks
Kindergarteners get hungry and I often give them a morning or afternoon snack depending on our day. Please consider donating a snack for the whole class such as goldfish, crackers, pretzels, fruit snacks, or animal crackers. We have a water fountain in our classroom. Juice boxes or water bottles for the class are always welcome.
You are in charge of you. Make good choices every day all day. Please remember to get to school on time. We start our day promptly at 8:35.
Have a plan! Please read with your child often and help him/her with homework. Check his/her take-home folders daily for behavior, special notes, and homework. Get plenty of rest! An early bed time is essential to learning.
Work first, then play! It is very important that students practice the skills on the homework at least three times per week.
Everyone can win! My goal is to provide your child with a positive learning experience. Together we help your child work to his/her highest potential. When your child succeeds, we all succeed.
I will listen before I talk! Please feel free to contact me linda.quinlan@yourcharlotteschools.net or 941-255-7515 ext. 236
Have your child wear sneakers every day for safety.
