Choking Hazards

My para, Ms. Fuller and I would like to welcome you to preschool. We look forward to a fun year of learning with your little ones. Please send a picture of your family to display in our class. Please let me know if your child has any allergies. Any donations of tissues are always appreciated. Thank you.

This week in class we will talk about if we can create our own new recipe for bread.

We will read these books.

Monday - The Silly Little Alphabet

Tuesday -This is Challah

Wednesday - Big Feelings 

Thursday - Pancakes for Breakfast Celebration of the Bread Study

Friday - Everybody Loves Cupcakes

What your child will need:

• Regular size backpack big enough to fit a folder 
• Folder
• Small blanket, roll up sleeping mat or fitted sheet (they would need to be able to get it on their mat independently) 
• Small stuffed animal (only one please)
• Healthy snack and drink
• Lunch and drink (if they are not buying lunch)
• Change of clothing to leave at school (please put clothes in a ziploc bag with their name on it)
• Diapers or Pull-ups (Pull-ups must have side Velcro closures) and wipes if needed, labeled with their name
• School ID
• Sneakers for daily outdoor play
• Appropriate clothing for the outdoors (keep in mind we go out most days)

  Please label all items with your child's name or initials as many children have the same items, and they can easily get mixed up as they are learning where to put their belongings.  

  Please keep all toys at home. There are plenty of toys in class and I wouldn't want them to get mixed up or lost.

  It would be a big help and much appreciated if you could please work with your child at rolling up their sleeping blanket and also zipping up their jackets.

  Also, if your child is getting school lunch, please put a note in their folder with their choice. Make sure the note does not fall behind the flap and go unnoticed.  If they are getting lunch every day, please let me know. Make sure to send in their ID as it makes picking up the lunches go much quicker.

       To find the Online Backpack: Go to jacksonsd.org - Select Elms School on the top right from the drop-down menu - Select Our District           on top left - Select  Online Backpack from the drop-down menu. This page contains flyers and forms that in the past were printed and sent             home with students. The change to an online "backpack'' is just one way the Jackson School District is trying to "go green'' to save money,                     preserve resources, increase efficiency and promote parental involvement. 

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns on the Family App.  or at mribera@jacksonsd.org

If it is time-sensitive, please call the office.  I am available for phone calls most days from 8:40am - 8:55am and 12:45 pm - 1:15 pm.
