Welcome to Kindergarten

Kindergarten is an exciting time for many students! The morning typically involves an opening gathering/morning meeting time, language arts centers and math centers. After lunch and recess we start our Kid Writing, science, social studies, and developmental play activities. A description of each aspect of the kindergarten day is described in more detail on the links I created.

Fire Prevention Week

Fire Prevention Week is October 8th and we will be reading Firefighter Ted in class. We will be practicing our fire evacuation plan at school and this is a good time for you to review your fire evacuation plan with your student. Below are some tips from Firefighter Ted.
Always:
Be smart about electricity.
Turn off lights and TVs you aren’t using.
Don’t play with electrical outlets.
Don’t cover lamps, cords, or plugs with blankets or furniture.
Be smart in the kitchen.
Only cook with a grown-up.
Stay far away from the oven and stove.
If something plugs in, only use it with a grown up.
Never play with matches or lighters. EVER!
Be a Junior Fire Marshall:
Help grownups make sure every room in the house has a smoke detector that works. Check it every month.
Make an escape plan with your family with two ways to get out of each room in the house. Pick a safe spot outside the house where everyone can meet if they have to leave the house in an emergency.
If there’s a fire:
If you smell smoke or hear a smoke detector, get out of the house and find a grownup to investigate.
If there’s a fire in your house, get out fast!
Don’t open hot doors.
Crawl on your hands and knees to avoid the smoke.
Go to your family safe spot.
Do not go back into the house!
Call 911!
