Need 1 inch Binders for Every Student

Parents,
Please send a 1 inch three ring binder for your child. I need the ones that have the clear cover on the front and back to insert papers into that can be seen through.
If you can send extras that would be awesome!
I would like to also say thank you to those parents who have been so supportive to our kindergarten class! Those of you who have sent extra items are truly awesome in so many ways!
If you can schedule some time to come and read to our class, that would be so nice. The students love it when parents come to read to them. If you would like to borrow a book from our classroom library or bring one from home, that would be fine. Simply stick a note in your child's folder that says you would like to read and let me know a couple of days that you would be free and I'll send a note back with a time for one of those days that you can come!
Please remember to keep all money sent in an envelope with your child's name on it, my name on it in the event that it falls out of their bookbag, what it's for, the amount enclosed, and stress to your child not to remove the baggy or envelope from the folder. It should be situated in front of the discipline calendar. I check the folders daily.
If you send something in your child's bookbag that you want me to see or get out, please stick a note in the folder in front of the discipline calendar letting me know that it's in their bookbag. I do not check their bookbags daily. I only check their folders daily.

Thanks!

Ms. Chaney

August Reminder

Please remember to send money for your child's fieldtrip t-shirt if you haven't already. It's $6.00 and can be cash or check made payable to Coosada Elementary School.

I still do not have plastic supply boxes for every student to keep supplies at their desk. If anyone can send extras, that would be awesome! They are only $1 at most stores. Thanks in advance to anyone who may do this for our class! We need about 5 more.

Journals will be ordered for each student. The price for journals will be $3 each. Originally we were told that they would be $2 each. If you can send extra money for classroom journals, that would be great! Just label an envelope with money for journals. If you haven't paid for your journals, please do that soon!

I will begin enforcing the rules that have been introduced to the students this week. Please don't be upset if your child has a straight or a frowny face. I ask that you be supportive and speak with him or her about it and encourage your child to follow directions. If we are still seeing straight or frowny faces in the future, then we will have to set up a meeting to discuss what steps to take from that point.

Please don't hesitate to ask questions!

Thanks for your support parents. It's so important that we work together to make sure that your child has a successful kindergarten year! It's going great and I'm so excited to get this year started off! It's going to be a GREAT year!

Open House Fun!

Parents,
I enjoyed meeting with you and your child during open house! It's going to be a great year! Please remember if you have any questions or need to communicate with me you can:

• Send a note in front of the discipline calendar in your child's take home folder
• Call the school and ask to be transferred to my room phone during my scheduled planning time (during P.E)
• E-mail me at Cindy.Chaney@elmore.k12.al.us
• Request a meeting (I can meet with you during my planning or afterschool)

Thanks!

Ms. Chaney

Parents! We need extra stuff! :)

Along with the supply list your child will also need the following items: a plastic crayon box, a towel for nap time along with a sinch sac, reusable shopping bag, or small sack to hold the towel, a 1" clear binder with view pockets in front and back, and 3 white t-shirts (youth large). You may also wish to send in extra items such as ziploc baggies, germ X, paper towels, cleaning supplies, magic erasers, lysol wipes, and other items. Our classroom is in great need of Tempra Washable Paint in the following colors: white, red, green, orange, blue, yellow, purple, and black. We always run out of glue sticks quickly. If you can send some glue sticks every 3 months that would be simply awesome!

Thanks so much!

Ms. Chaney
