I am looking forward to the beginning of a wonderful school year. Miss Santiago and I have been busy preparing the classroom. The beginning of a school year is always so exciting!
Just a reminder that we are having an Open House on Tuesday, September 5. The Senior Kindergarten students are invited to visit from 10:00 am to 11:00 am and the Junior Kindergarten students can see their classroom from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm. This is a great opportunity to have a look around the classroom, find his/her cubby, say hi to Mrs. Burn and Miss Santiago, see old friends and have a positive start to the school year. This is a casual visit and there is no program during this hour. Please use the front door to enter the school. I will also have mailbags ready with the beginning of the year paperwork. See you on Tuesday!
Please check the blog this weekend for a sneak peek into Room 159!

Welcome to the Burn Bulletin, the blog for Room 159 at LKS. Please check this blog weekly for important and up to date school information. This blog is updated each weekend during the school year.
Your child will need a backpack for Kindergarten. This backpack should be large enough to carry a library book, snacks, a water bottle (we do not have a fountain in our room), a lunch bag (if your child stays for lunch) and his/her mailbag (supplied by me). Please give your child opportunities to practise opening, putting things in, taking objects out of the backpack and then zipping the backpack closed. As your child enters school, independence (and attempting to be independent) is very important. If your child is staying for lunch, he/she will need a reusable lunch container, with any utensils needed to eat his/her lunch. Please label all snack containers so they can be returned to their owner when misplaced. This is a good time to purchase extra plastic containers as they do sometimes get lost.
All students should bring 2 nutritious snacks to school each day. We have a morning and afternoon snack in our class. Children should not bring any food which contain or may contain nuts for their snack. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Due to spills, the children will drink water from their water bottles at snack time. They may bring juice or milk for their lunch since they will be eating in the lunch room.
Pencils, crayons, scissors, erasers and other materials are supplied by the school, but this is always a wonderful opportunity to purchase items for home during the "Back to School" sales.
Kindergarten Hours 2017-2018
Morning Entry 8:45 a.m
We will have the back door of the classroom open beginning at 8:30 to assist with an easier entry. Please let us know of any changes to pick up or lunch routines with a note. School announcements and attendance begins at 8:50 a.m. Children should be in the classroom and ready to begin their day before 8:50 a.m.
Lunch 11:20 a.m.
We will dismiss the children going home for lunch to their caregivers from the wall outside the classroom. We encourage the children to go home for lunch, if possible, as it is a nice break during the busy day. Even going home for lunch once or twice a week is a treat and something that the children look forward to.
Afternoon Entry 12:30 p.m.
Dismissal 3:05 p.m.
We will dismiss the children to their caregivers from the wall outside the classroom. Students attending before or after school programs or going home on the bus will be escorted by a staff
member.
Miss Santiago and I are looking forward to a wonderful year in Room 159. Please continue to check this blog as I add more details and pictures of the classroom.
See you soon!
