Helpful Hints to Prepare for Kindergarten

- Talk about your positive experiences in school - Read books / Fort Bend County Library Summer Reading

Program - Enroll in summer activities that promote sharing, learning a

routine and following rules- Discuss independent skills such as buttoning, tying shoes,

snapping snaps, cleaning up after activities, putting away toys, etc.

- Explore your community by visiting museums, parks, walks, etc.

- Sing songs- Expose your child to the web with guidance (Campbell

Library Links / www.starfall.com)- Count various objects around the house & group them by

attributes (size, color, shape, texture)

Do you know where these laces have been?

We do!So if your child cannot tie their shoes themselves…

please send them to school in slip on shoes.

If each student collected 5 Box Tops per month, over $3,000 would be raised

this school year.

Tyson Project A+ - Clip only the below. Each label is worth 24 cents.

Labels for Education – Clip only the UPC code and the point value.

For V8 drinks only the CAP.

PTA redeems points for educational merchandise for classrooms and teachers.

Most of what I really need to know about how to live,

what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten.

These are the things I learned:

Share everything.Play fair.

Don't hit people.Put things back where you found them.

Clean up your own mess.Don't take things that aren't yours.

Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.Wash your hands before you eat.

Flush.Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.

Live a balanced life—learn some and think some anddraw and paint and sing and dance and play and work everyday

some.Take a nap every afternoon.

When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic,hold hands and stick together.

Be aware of wonder.

Thank you for sharing

your child with us!
