Kindergarten Getting to Know You Days

It's hard to believe, but it's already THAT EXCITING time of year! It's time for our Kindergarten Getting to Know You Days! We're looking forward to meeting next year's kindergarten students (children who will be five before September 1, 2019).

We've planned a couple of special times to get to know them better! Please be sure to set aside the following dates:

Friday, February 8th (11:30 AM)
and 
Friday, April 19th (11:30 AM) 

Our kindergarten teachers have something special planned for both visits! The activities will last about 1/2 hour each time. Please be sure to bring your child's birth certificate and immunization record with you. If you have any questions, please contact our office.

Be sure to spread the word! If you know of Future Fielding Panthers within our school boundaries, please let their parents know.

Bucket Filling

Here, at Fielding, we're encouraging Bucket Filling. What is Bucket Filling?

The bucket represents a person's mental and emotional self. When a person's bucket is full, he feels more confident, secure, happy, and friendly. His thoughts are more positive and he spread happiness to others. When a person's bucket is empty, it contains few, if any, happy or positive thoughts or feelings. A person with an empty bucket can easily become sad, insecure, angry, nervous, depressed, and negative. The "fullness" of one's bucket affects one's behavior.

When someone "fills" another person's bucket, he shares actions or words that shows he cares about others. He smiles, does something kind, is respectful, helps without being asked, gives compliments, and is thoughtful. There are hundreds of ways to fill buckets.

Listed below are a couple of links that will take you to a couple of read aloud books.  These books are great reminders for us all.  Enjoy!

Welcome Back!

We hope you've enjoyed the break!  We were excited to see our Panthers return this morning. Please be sure to check out this month's newsletter and menus.  They are located here on our website, as well as your child should be bringing home a hard copy.  We're looking forward to a great 2019!
