Meet Ms. Lee

 

Dear Parents, 

 

Welcome to Kindergarten! My name is Jasmine Lee and I am honored to be your child’s teacher. This is my eigth year as an educator and I’m very excited to be a part of Jaguar family. I realize that teaching your child is a privilege, as well as a tremendous responsibility. Kindergarten is a year of growing socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. 

 

 

 

 

Behavior Plan 

 

In order to provide each child in our classroom with the best learning environment possible, I will be using the following discipline plan.

 

Classroom Expectations

 

1. Follow Directions Quickly.

2. Raise your hand to speak or stand.

3. Keep your hands and feet to yourself.

4. Be safe. Be kind. Be honest.

5. Listen when you teacher is talking.

 

I expect all students to behave appropriately to ensure a positive and productive learning environment. Students who choose to be disruptive will have the following consequences:

 

 

 

 

Each child will have a Take Home Communication folder that will be sent home daily.  It is essential that this folder comes back to school each day. Our Take Home Folder is our way or maintaining effective communication between home and school. This folder will be used to help develop your child’s organizational skills and learning responsibility. 

 

 

Here is what you will find inside:

 

Notes from school 
This front pocket will contain any notes from our school and newsletters. Please check and empty this section nightly.

 

Homework 

 

Students will have weekly homework packets for you to work on nightly. It will go home on Monday and should be returned Friday. Sometimes, they will be assigned an activity that will require your help.  Also, nightly students should spend time reviewing sight words and reading leveled books (beginning in October) which will help with your child’s success which will go home later in the year.

 

Optional Practice: Students will also have an option to work on their ELA and math skills at home using Lexia and Zearn, which is a computer base program we use at school. 

 

Money & Important Notes
From time to time, you may need to send money to school for concession, field trips, etc. It is very important that all money is placed in an envelope with your child’s name on it. Concession money should be sent of Thursday.

 

Newsletter
Our weekly newsletter will be attached to the homework packet.

 

Sight Words
We will be working on specific sight words each week. See the newsletter to see which words to review daily.
