Other "tid
bits"
·
Please make sure you
are sending your kinder's folder back to school every day. We are still
practicing the afternoon routine, so your kinder's folder might not make it
home one afternoon but please send it back when it does make it home :)
·
If your kinder is
unable to tie his/her own shoes (or it takes him/her a long time to tie shoes
independently), please have your child wear Velcro shoes. We change our shoes
for gym and shoes can get untied fairly often. Therefore, the time it takes to
keep tying shoes can add up!
·
If your kinder wears
skirts or jumpers to school, she NEEDS to have shorts, leggings or tights on
underneath her skirt or jumper at all times!
