Please pack a complete snack/lunch every day for your child when he/she has cottage class. At about 1:20 we have a snack break in the classroom before they go out to play at recess.
Open House
is Monday, August 22nd, 4:30-6:30. It is not required, but just a good
time to meet and see the classroom/office associated with the
Cottage/Online Programs.
Cottage 1 is Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11:10-2:55
Cottage 2 is Thursdays and Fridays from 11:10-2:55
Students should line up at 11:10 along the white fence directly in front of Gateway's front door. I will come out and Greet the class and walk them in.
Pick up at 2:55 is a one way flow lane that can
take 10-15 minutes. First few days I'll walk the class to the flag pole
and have them point out your car as you pull through. If you want to
get out of your car, park in the parking lot across the road from the
front of the school & use the cross walk.
Children may bring in a "Show-n-tell"
one time each week. I especially encourage Book Reports or other
academic related items to share. Sometimes the kids read their book or
a portion of it, tell about it, act it out, draw a picture, or a
traditional written 'report' in the older cottage class. Kindergartners can even give a talk about a book read to them. Many
show-n-tells end up being toys, but we have had a variety including,
interesting rocks, crafts from home, etc.
Thanks,
Sandy
