  3. Transportation • Children will have tags placed on their book bags that state their PM mode of transportation (walker, bus – including bus stop, carpool, van, or afterschool care). • A note is needed to make changes to how your child goes home. Please do not rely on your child to tell me about transportation information. If a written note is not received, your child will be sent home via his/her usual mode of transportation.

  6. Rest Time • Students will be resting each afternoon for 20 minutes. • Recent research suggests that kindergarten students should be given at least 20 minutes each day to rest and “recharge” their bodies and their brains for the remainder of the day! • Please send in a towel for your child (please do not send mats, blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, etc.) • Towels will go home on Fridays and should be returned on Mondays.

  7. Class Expectations • My philosophy regarding discipline is based on the belief that children need affectionate care and firm guidelines within an enriching, safe, and structured learning environment. • PBS Behavior matrix • “Hop to It” Program • Monthly calendars (in daily folders) • “Fun Friday” Centers
