a few things

First off, as of this morning we have 5 chicks that have hatched.  Let's hope for a full dozen by tomorrow.

I have a plea for all parents and caregivers.  Please put effort into being on time for school.  You should be waiting outside the kindergarten entrance doors until a teacher opens the door and invites the children in.  Parents should say goodbye at this time and remain outside.  If you are late, please bring your child to the classroom and then head off to whatever your day holds.  Having so many parents inside the school makes an already crowded hall more crowded and holds their child back from learning class routines and Independence.  Mrs McGrath and I are professionals and can handle undressing and dressing 19 4 and 5 year olds ourselves.  We work to teach the children to be independent in a supportive environment.  Our routines are designed to develop the children self reliance and this will not happen if the routines are disrupted.

Thank you for your support and trust that we have your child's best interests in mind,
Miss Mynes
