Preschool Rules:

1. Use kind words.

2. Keep your hands to yourself.

3. Listen carefully to directions.

4. Share and take turns.

5. Talk with the teacher if someone is bothering you

We have talked about these rules as a class and will refer to them throughout the day as needed.  Students will receive 3 warnings for inappropriate behavior and then be removed from the group to a quiet area of the room for 5 minutes.  We'll talk and then they can rejoin the class.  I will contact a the parent if a student is having extended problems following class rules.

Homework

Students will have homework on Thursdays to reinforce curricular themes and teach responsibility for their mail.

Tasks may be as simple as handwriting, drawing a picture, or bringing an object from home. 

We are looking forward to a great year!
