round 'em up!

It's that time when we round up our new kinders in preparation for next year! My favorite teacher down the hall and I thought that it was ideal to put materials together that were eye catching and put information into small enough chunks of information for parents to absorb. After all, the 5 plain white papers with Times New Roman, Size 12 font that listed in paragraph upon paragraph and column after column of information didn't seem appealing to us - let alone seem palatable for any new parent.

So, we decided to put together 2 brochures - one from the office, and one from the teachers. This one from the office hopefully makes it simple for parents to find key information about how "school" works. I took out my school's information but it prints into a two page fold-able brochure. Parents appreciate pictures too! Throughout the entire document we continually refer parents to a site we created using Google sites that just has information pertaining just to our kindergarten. It was a project to create, but it requires very little updating each year and has saved us many repetitive parent questions and phone calls in the long run!

This one "from the teachers" I made more general and now can be used by any kindergarten teacher! It features fun things parents can do at home to help prepare their child, pencil grip and online sites they can utilize. Enjoy this one as an inexpensive product download on Teacher's Notebook!
