WELCOME KINDY BLUE - MRS SARAH TARASENKO
Welcome to Kindy Blue for 2020! It is going to be an exciting first year of school full of learning and fun. Term 1 will be focused on settling into school routines, learning the school rules and adjusting to a structured full day of learning. We will be using developmental play to help ease the students into formal learning, as well as plenty of fine motor skills and hands-on activities for engagement. The students will be in small group-style learning as it allows for them to work and interact positively and to get to know each other.
· Mrs Cook will be teaching Kindergarten Blue Music and Technology skills on a Monday in the middle session.
· Library: Library day is Wednesday afternoon with Mrs Cook. Students are encouraged to bring their library bag every Wednesday and return and borrow new books.
· Sport: Sport will be every Monday in the morning session from 10:00am-11:00am. Students are required to wear their sports uniform on a Monday.
· Fruit Break: Each morning we have fruit break at 9am. Please include a piece of fruit that is easy to eat in your child’s lunch box each day. Fruit break should only take 5-10 minutes.
· Parent Helpers: Parent helpers are always appreciated in the classroom. Please contact me on Class Dojo if you are interested. You will need a current Working With Children Check which is easy to obtain.
· Assembly: Infants assemblies are on Friday’s every fortnight on even weeks starting from Friday 21/2/20. Parents are invited to attend these assemblies.
I am looking forward to a big and busy first year of learning with the students in Kindy Blue. I understand that Kindergarten is a huge change not only for the children but for parents also, so please don’t hesitate to contact me via Dojo. Class Dojo is a great communication tool and I will also be sending photos and updates on our learning throughout the year. I am looking forward to working alongside you all!
Mrs Tarasenko 😊
