Welcome to Kindergarten!

A Time to Wonder –

Welcome Kindergarten students and parents to the 2011-2012 school year.  Kindergarten is a time for children to expand their love of learning, their general knowledge, their ability to get along with others, and their interest in reaching out to the world.  While kindergarten marks an important transition from preschool to primary grades, it is important that children still be children.  This year will be one of the most important milestones in your child’s life – the first year of school!  A successful adjustment to kindergarten will often influence the child’s perception, attitudes, and performance in subsequent school years.  The Kindergarten theme, “A Time to Wonder,” is centered on finding out about themselves and the world in which they live.  This yearlong plan encompasses the California State Standards for Kindergarten but leaves room for parents who follow the grid planning flexibility while maintaining content consistency.

Parent Educator Camp will be on Wednesday, September 7, 2011 from 8:30 to 2:30.  There will be a session provided for parents of kindergartners to help kick start their year, provide tools needed to be successful and answer any questions regarding the kindergarten curriculum. You need to sign up at the front desk to reserve your spot.

Don’t forget to sign your child up for Enrichment this year.  Kindergarten students will be part of the K/1 Block and will take classes ranging from Fractured Fairy Tales, Scales and Slime, Triple L Train and Rain Forest just to name a few.  Sign-ups begin online Monday, September 12, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.  You won’t want to miss out on all the fun!
