Dear Parents,
Welcome to the 2011-2012 school
year at Alamo Country School. I am very excited to be your child’s
teacher and look forward to an enriching and rewarding school year. My
objectives this year are to help better prepare your child for
kindergarten emotionally, socially, and academically in a positive and
nurturing environment.
We will focus on one letter per
week, and all of our art projects and/or academic worksheets will
pertain to that letter. In addition to our letter of the week your
children will also practice:
- Writing
and recognition of capital and lower case letters
- Shape,
color, and number recognition
- Spelling and writing names
- Phonics
- Patterns
and sequencing
- Problem
solving
- Development of fine motor
skills
I will conduct
Kindergarten assessments in the fall and spring so that both you and I can keep
track of your child’s progress. This
will also give you a chance to see what skills your child could benefit from
working on at home as well as in school.
In addition to our
daily academics we also have Share Day on Wednesdays and Book Day on Thursdays.
Please make sure that your child only brings a toy on Share Day that
begins with the letter of the week, as they will not be able to present their
toy to the class unless it begins with the letter.
Your child will have
their own cubby and art folder.
Please make sure that all your child’s belongings fit into their cubby.
Also, please be sure to provide a labeled extra set of clothes to keep in
case of an accident or spill.
Your child’s art
projects and worksheets will be put in their folder when they are ready to be
taken home. Pleases do not remove
art from walls or drying table.
Also, be sure to check your child’s folder at least once a week so as to help
monitor your child’s progress and help foster a sense of pride in their work.
Children often love to share their accomplishments with their families!
I am looking forward to working with your child and am excited
to be a part of their growth and development.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have
throughout the school year. The
best times to talk are during drop off (before
10:00am), or by phone between
1:00
and 3:00pm.
Let’s work together
to make this year full of fun, learning, and personal growth for your child!
Sincerely,
Miss Shavon
