Queen Bee & King BeeTop of Page
Throughout the year students will have a number of opportunities to be the "Queen Bee or King Bee." This is a special day for your child to be a classroom helper and even bring in something to share that is important to them. They will find out the day before when it is their turn.
School LibraryTop of Page
Once a week, on Wednesdays, we will be visiting the school library where your TK students will be able to check out a book to enjoy for the week. The library books are due the next week. I will put a library crate outside on Tuesday mornings to collect books before our library visits on Wednesdays.
Friday FoldersTop of Page
On Friday of each week, I will place a crate outside with our Friday folders to be taken home at the end of the day. Please grab it that day and bring it home. Inside you will find news from our school or class, completed work, and more! Some time over the weekend, empty the folder out and go over the papers, notes, and work with your TKer. Return the empty folder to school on Monday!
