Hello Parents/ Guardians,
I am very excited to have your child in my class for the year 2023-2024! We will have a
year full of learning and fun experiences. I would like to reassure you that I am dedicated to providing your child with a nurturing and welcoming educational environment that allows him/her to feel safe in our classroom. In order to help your child get ready for kindergarten, I have put together the following:
Letter Recognition and Sound Songs:
-Buy Alphabet letter cards and practice letter recognition, letter sounds, and ask your
child for words that begin with the letter sound of the card.

-Buy number cards 0-100, Practice with your child number recognition and counting.
Start off with 0-20 first and work your child's way up.
Handwriting:
-It is very important that your child is able to grip a pencil correctly. Please help your
child practice their handwriting by writing A-Z letters. You may do this by buying a primary notebook or handwriting workbook at a local store like Target or Walmart in the Dollar Section. Here is an example of one:
Attached, you will find a list of additional ways you can prepare your child for Kindergarten.
Best,
