 Welcome to St. Matthew Kindergarten!
I am happy to meet both you and your child. I am looking forward to an enriching and fun-filled year. Kindergarten provides the building blocks on which your child will grow academically, socially, and morally. Even though it looks like we are playing throughout our school day, if you look closely, you will find that we are making observations and comparisons, cooperating in order to come to a conclusion, and using basic skills to understand how the world works.

SHOW & TELL
Your child may bring an item for show and tell on her/his snack day. Please know
that weapons of any sort are not acceptable as well as toys that depict death or
pain. There are many items that your child can bring to school that are not
toys. Just put imagination to work!
   
SNACK
Your child is expected to bring a snack to share. This usually consists of
something to eat and drink. We have 18 students in our classroom. Snacks
should be healthy. Snacks may be store-bought or homemade. A half-gallon of
drink is usually sufficient. This can be juice or milk. Please do not send
soda pop. Make sure that snacks are easy to pass out as we have limited time to
prepare snacks. Please save sugary refreshments for birthday treats. Some
suggestions for snacks are: muffins, pretzels, granola bars, fruit (cut-up), pudding or
yogurt cups, cereal mix, graham crackers, crackers, and cheese, etc. Because of
peanut allergies, do not send peanut butter snacks to school until you have checked with
me to see if we have any children with this allergy.
 FYI- Many times I do not send home
leftover snacks. I keep them in the classroom to be used for those days when a child
does not bring in a snack. Also, if you do forget a snack, don't worry about it-it
happens! Just send in a bottle of juice or a box of crackers to be stored in the
classroom as another way to have snacks for those days when someone forgets snack!
