Welcome to Kindergarten

Welcome to Kindergarten!

My name is Ms. Hudson and I will be your teacher this year.

Before we get started, I wanted to share some important information with you and your parents.

Classroom Expectations and Classroom Philosophy:

• Every child has a right to learn and every teacher has a right to teach.
• I expect my students to come to class on time and am prepared to learn.
• My students can expect me to come to class prepared and ready to teach.
• My students can come to me anytime with questions, comments, or concerns relative to student learning.
• I will talk with my students and their parents if I have any questions, comments, or concerns relative to student learning and my teaching style.

Classroom Management Rules

• Respect all adults and other students
• Keep your desk area neat and clean
• Enter and exit the room quietly
• Push in your chair when leaving your desk
• Keep your hands and objects to yourself
• Take bathroom breaks and drinking fountain breaks at recess

Classroom Consequences

• Stay in for recess for 5 minutes or for lunch for 5 minutes
• The child will call home
• A meeting with me or with me and your parents
• A meeting with me, your parents, and the principal

Field Trips:
In Kindergarten we plan to take two special field trips.
The first field trip relates to “Communication” where we write letters to a relative and then we take a walking field trip to the nearest public mail box, located near our campus.
The second field trip relates to “Our Community” where we will taking a walking field trip to our local Ralph’s Supermarket.
Permission slips and flyers will be sent home a few weeks before trips are scheduled.
