Class of 2024

Dear Families,
This year our class will be creating kindergarten time capsules.
These time capsules will be created, sealed and sent home before the
end of the school year and should not be opened until your childs 18th
birthday. The time will fly by and youll be able to open them before
you even know it!
In order to create these very special time capsules I will need a
little help from you. Each child will need a shoebox with their name on
it. Please write a letter from you to your child, telling him or her how
special he or she is, the special things he or she does, the funny things
he or she does, or whatever you like. I have provided paper and an
envelope. Feel free to return the letter, in the provided envelope,
addressed to your child. Please also complete the attached survey with
your child. Please be sure to have all materials turned in by:
__________________________________. Thank you in advance
for all of your assistance with this very special project.
Sincerely,
Your Childs Teacher

Please dont forget, each child needs:

A shoebox

A letter

All I Really Need To Know

About How To Live and What To Do And How To Be, I learned in Kindergarten.
by Robert Fulghum
These are the things I learned:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life--learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and
dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and
stick together.
Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: The roots go
down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or
why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the
styrofoam cup; they all die. So do we.
And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you
learned; the biggest word of all-- LOOK.
Everything you need to know is there somewhere.
The Golden Rule and
love and basic sanitation, ecology, and politics and the sane living.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had
cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets
for a nap.
Or we had a basic policy in our nation and other
nations to always put things back where we found them and clean up our own messes.
And it is still true; no matter how old you are, when you go
out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
