I hope you’re enjoying these last days of summer and are looking forward to the start of school for your child. Below is a quick reference list of things you will need to have for kindergarten. You do not need to send in art supplies as these will be provided for your child. Throughout the course of the year, check out our classroom blog wishlist for items that could be donated. Some things listed below are in preparation for our Educating Children Outdoors (ECO) program where the children will be engaging in our Vermont Framework of Standards through outdoor exploration. More information will be coming about ECO, outfitting your child for this wonderful experience, and dates that we will participate in this outdoor learning.
At our playground playdate on Monday, August 25th (4:30-5:30) there will be a chance to sign up for a “home visit”. We will meet on the Upper Playground. Final phase construction of the UES roofing project, and repairs to the play structure are in progress on the Kindergarten playground. Home visits are available on August 27th, 28th, and 29th. At these home visits, I will have a chance to get to know your child better and you will have a chance to ask any questions you have about kindergarten. Please be sure to sign up!
Please let me know if you have any questions and don’t forget to keep checking the blog! Or, drop me an email to say hello! jillc@mpsvt.org
