Mrs. Fergusson and I are very happy to have your child in our classroom this year. We are looking forward to a fun and exciting year. Here are a few things to help you get aquainted with our class- be sure to check your child's class calendar each month to see what we are working on. Please remember to check your child's agenda daily! Please reinforce following classroom rules at home and being a good listener at school.
Specialist schedule: Monday -Media (A week) Computers (B week) Tuesday - P.E. Wednesday - Music Thursday - Second Step and Guidance Friday - Art
Agendas: Please check and sign your child's agenda each day. Be sure to check the agenda pocket as well, for any special notes or homework that may come home. Check your child's number each day. Praise your child for 3-4 bands and a good day! Your child can also earn 5-6 bands for an excellent day! For less than 3 please remind your child of the rules and the importance of following them each day. When your child earns 5-6 bands they receive a paw stamp. 12 paw stamps=1 dog tag, 5 dog tags= reward day at end of quarter. Your child will also earn paws for homework completed weekly, by other teachers in hallway, cafeteria, and specials. Somedays they may have 1 stamp others 2 or 3. Just keep encouraging good behavior!!! Thursday Folders: Folders will come home each Thursday with your child's work from the previous week. Please go over it with your child and you may keep it. We will also send notes from the classroom, office and PTA to keep you notified of things at school. Please read these and send back only the things that need your reply.

Thank you sharing your child with us this year in Kindergarten. His/her welfare is of utmost concern to us all here at Hanford-Dole. Please remember we follow the N.C. Standard Course of Study and we will have "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND". If you have any questions about our curriculum, please feel free to call for a conference (639-3046). Because we feel that every moment of your child's academic day is important to our success, we can not have any impromptu conferences.
