Back to School!!

I say it every year, but it's hard to believe another school year  is about to begin! The week before school starts brings new emotions. Nervous, scared, maybe even excited! Rest assured I will do my best to provide a caring environment for your child to learn and grow! I truly believe Kindergarten is one of the most pivotal years in a child's education. With a solid foundation, it is my hope your child will gain a love of learning in my classroom!

Here are just a few tips for a successful start of Kindergarten at LME!
1. Make sure you have all necessary paperwork turned into the office or your child's teacher.
2. Go shopping for school supplies with your child. Help him/her pick out what clothes he/she will wear the first day of school. While many children are nervous for the first day of school, your reassurance and involvement in these tasks are helpful in easing their fears. 
3. Plan ahead! Whether it be packing lunches or picking out what clothes to wear each day, a plan will help begin the year on the right foot.
4. Get back into a routine. I know I'm guilty of staying up later in the summer! If you've fallen out of your bedtime routine, now is a good time to get back into a solid routine!
5. Accidents happen! Prepare a change of clothes in advance and bring it with you on the first day of school for your child’s teacher to keep in the classroom.
6. Talk to your child about what they can expect at school. Reassure them you will be there when the day is done to talk about all the fun they had at school!
7. Get involved! We love volunteers in the school and classroom! Be sure to get involved with our PTA. Sign up for emails and "like" them on Facebook for updated information!

 

Enjoy these last few days of summer!

We look forward to seeing your smiling faces the first day of school!
