TK Supply Requests and First Day Reminders

Welcome to Transitional Kindergarten at Twin Lakes! I am Ms. Hostetter and I look forward to meeting and having the privilege of spending this upcoming year with your children.

On your first day of school:

• Please dress your child in clothing that is comfortable. Be sure to put a change of clothes and a plastic bag in their backpack…just in case.
• Backpack large enough for papers and folders to go in without folding and smooshing. No mini/preschool size backpacks, please. Be sure to label it with your child’s name and bring every day.
• We have an optional snack break during recess each day. Please send items that your child can open themselves. Here are a few healthy suggestions: fresh fruit, vegetables, crackers, cheese, yogurt, etc.. Keep this snack small so your child has plenty of play time.
• Reuseable water bottle that closes. Be sure to label it with your child’s name.

Items to donate for community use in the classroom (no names on these):

• Large Elmer’s or Avery brand glue sticks (please, no other brands).
• 1 box of 24 Crayola Crayons
• 1 pair children’s Fiskars scissors (blunt tip)
• Skinny black Expo dry erase markers
• Play-Doh 4 oz. size containers.
• Unscented Baby Wipes refill packs
• Kleenex

Thank you,

Ms. Hostetter

We recognize that many families wish to provide supplies for their own student or donate materials for the whole community and are welcome to do so at any time. The supplies listed are suggested materials and are not required of any student or family to fully participate in the school’s academic program. All required materials and supplies will be provided by schools to students at no cost.

Dear New Kindergartners and Families,

We are excited to welcome you to Twin Lakes ! We hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready to begin the school year in Room 7, 8 or 12. We hope to meet you at our Kindergarten Kick-off, July 31-Aug. 4. During this week of fun super hero themed activities, we will be articulating and assigning your student a kindergarten teacher. You will find out your teacher on August 5.

On your first day of school:

• Please dress your child in clothing that is comfortable. Athletic shoes with velcro work best at school, but closed toed sandals are good as well.

• Although it is not required, we encourage your child to bring a backpack in order to make it easier for them to transport projects and papers to and from school. If you choose to send a backpack to school, please label it on the outside of the pack to make identification easier. We will be sending a communication folder home daily with your child’s completed work, school letters, etc. We will provide these folders the first week.

• We have a snack break during the first recess each day. We are encouraging ALL students to bring a snack, because we have a late lunch. Here are a few healthy suggestions: fresh fruit, vegetables, crackers, cheese, yogurt, bars etc.. Please do not send juice because we have had an ant problem in the past. Don’t forget to LABEL water bottles! NOTE: We are being VERY careful about our students with nut allergies. Please inform your child’s teacher right away .

• Your kinder will have lunch during their school day. You may choose to bring a lunch from home or get a school lunch. Please let your kinder know if they are bringing a lunch from home or if they need to get a school lunch.

Lunch from home…Label lunch boxes on the outside. Make sure your kinder knows how to open all packages, put in straws and use a zipper. Place in class wagon.

School lunch…Please inform your kinder of the lunch choices. There will be a meat and vegetarian option. They will need to tell their teacher their choice and cannot switch their choice during the day.

We’re looking forward to a fantastic year!!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Costas, Mrs. Hofmann and Mrs. Nordin
