Arrival and Dismissal
Arrival Parents cannot enter the building without a tag provided by the front office.
This is to ensure the safety of our students. In addition, if you have a note for me, please make sure your child is aware of it. I do not look in backpacks. It will be their responsibility to place their daily folders in the designated area inside the classroom. Please do not allow children to bring food, toys or electronics into the classroom.
Dismissal Changes in transportation: Please remember to send a note to me or email
before 7:50 am (12:00 for PM class) if there is a change in transportation. I try to check my emails before class. You can also call the front office at 832-484-7400 and they will deliver the message to me. Also, car riders please be sure to bring your car pool number!

What’s in MyBackpack?
What’s in your backpack? I played in the windy house
It’s empty today. And talked with my friends.Where’s your work? I rocked a babyDid you just play? And played pretend.
When I built with blocks In science I observed,I learned about shapes. Guessed, and experimented, tooI balanced and shared- The same things grown
upOur skyscraper was great. Scientists do.
What’s in MyBackpack?
Art was messy. Out on the playgroundI created and explored. I ran like the wind.I solved my own problem I learned to take turnsWhen I spilled glue on the floor. And helped a hurt friend.
My fingers got a work out Story time is whatWith puzzles and clay. I always like best.Those same muscles I can use my imagination
Will help me write one day. And give my body a rest.
What’s in MyBackpack?
I sang and danced - I love to go to school.Learned a finger play, too. I’m glad I’m me.I answered questions An empty
backpackAnd said, “please and “Thank you” Means I’m learning, you
see!
There will be timeFor worksheets and tests,But talking and playing Is how I learn best.
Many of our daily activities include phonological
awareness skills-which require active listening.
This means no paperwork! We also work in small
groups.
Many of our art and play activities are used to develop fine motor skills for writing.
