The Bucks Start Here!


Summer Registration

New students to East Elementary will register June 23.  You will need your child’s birth certificate, social security card, and shot record.  Those applying for Prekindergarten or Head Start will need to provide proof of income.  You will not be allowed to register your child without all the required documentation.

Summer Homework

The best thing you can do for your child is to have them read everyday.  Even 10 minutes a day can make a difference in children’s academic success. Utilize the public library to encourage a love for reading.  The children at East are readers and we want to continue good habits.

Learn from yesterday, live for today and hope for tomorrow. The important thing is
not to stop questioning.

Encourage your child’s language growth at home

 

Starting school is a huge milestone in a child’s life.  During kindergarten, students learn how to tell a whole story, give instructions, rhyme, divide words into parts and follow classroom rules.  To encourage these accomplishments:

 

*have creative discussions.  Ask your child to describe something he did—beginning to end.  Or talk about something that will happen, such as a field trip.

 

*Play language games.  Pick a word, such as “say”.  How many words can you think of that rhyme.

 

*Review rules.  Talk about ways to be polite, such as sharing, saying please and thank you, taking turns and following directions.  Practice these skills through play.  “Could you please pass that to me?’’ “You can have the next turn,” and “Let’s check the rules.”
