Kindergarten Summer Playdates!

Supplies for School:
Teaching children to always be prepared for school with their materials each day starts in Kindergarten. Your child should bring a backpack (labeled with their name) to school every single day. They should also bring a small, healthy snack that can be eaten in 5 minutes and a water bottle each day. No candy, please.
Attire:
Kindergarten is a busy place! We want to be sure that our little Pumas are comfortable when exploring throughout the day. Please send your child to school in clothing and shoes that will allow for a lot of activity and a variety of movement experiences.
Homework:
It is important to establish the routine of doing homework daily from a very early age. Homework is part of the Kindergarten program at Nesbit. Homework will include:
Reading or being read-to for 15-20 minutes per night
A weekly homework packet
The MOST important homework is reading
