  3. Meet Your Teacher • My Background & Experience: • I grew up in Saint Joseph, Missouri. • I attended Missouri Western State University received my bachelor in Early Childhood and Special Education. I also have bachelor in Health & Exercise Science and a minor in biology. • I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ukraine for 27 months. I can speak Ukrainian and Russian. • I have 2 nieces and a cat named Kishka. • I enjoy running, hiking, traveling, reading, and community involvement activities/projects.

  4. General Information • Early Dismals: Please keep in mind these days and plan accordingly. • Homework (Red) folder. • Label your child’s personal belongings. • Activity/Field trip fee is $15. If you need additional assistance please contact me. • School Hours: 8:22am-3:05pm • Student Breakfast: $1.70 Student Lunch: $2.20 Reduced Lunch: $0.40 Applications for free/reduced lunch will be sent home the 1st day of school.

  5.

  6. Parent Volunteers • I encourage interested parents, grandparents, caregivers, and other adult friends of Hosea kindergarten class to get involved. Volunteers in the past have had fun working with kids in the classroom, library, cafeteria, and sports team. Volunteers needed: • Reading groups • Field trips • Kindergarten picnic • Classroom parties • Collecting materials for arts & craft projects. NOTE: Please feel free to introduce your ideas, all are welcome and encouraged 

  7. Field Trips for 2013-2014 • Old McDonald Farm: September 27, 2013 • Hunts Orchard: October 25, 2013 • Kansas City Zoological Park: April 18, 2014 • Field trips are not only lots of fun but they can also be very valuable learning experience for young children. They can help build background knowledge and vocabulary that are important for success in school. • While field trips are fun for students and families they often require extra help, interested parents/caregivers should contact me.

  8. Tips for Kindergarten Parents • Establish routines. • Practice the morning routine of dressing and eating breakfast. • Review with your child how he/she will be getting to and from school. • Provide your child with a healthy breakfast or be sure your child arrives early enough to eat breakfast at school. • Choose clothes for your kindergarten that is “easy on, easy off”. • To prevent your kindergarten from missing out on P.E, let your child wear sneakers everyday. Please no flip flops.

  9. Tips Continued: • Read to your child daily! Reading increases vocabulary and background knowledge. • Make sure your child has time to play after school an on weekends. Now that your child spends more time in a structured school environment, you should allow more free time at home to play. • Promote the attitude of respect for rights and properties of others. • Together parents and teachers make a team. The year is about cooperation and trust. If something may be affecting your child, let me know. If you have concerns, share them.

  10. Communication • Parent-Teacher Conferences may be scheduled in person or by phone. • My planning period is everyday from 1:00-1:45pm. If you need to contact me, you may do so during this time by phone or scheduling an meeting. • My school phone number is 816-671-4180, if I am unable to make it to the phone, please leave a message and I shall return your call. • Also in your child’s homework (red) folder there is a section specifically for parent/teacher communication. • Don’t forget about our classroom website! • http://msconardclassroom.weebly.com
