Welcome to Kindergarten

Bower Hill Elementary

I will ride the bus every day either to school if I have kindergarten in

the morning or home from school if I have it in the afternoon. Mom

will drive me the other way to or from school. I will sit toward the front

of the bus near the bus driver. I will keep my hands to myself and stay

seated on the bus. I will share my seat with a friend.

The Kindergarten classrooms are all located in the same hallway in the

school. The Kindergarten “commons” area is in the middle. We will do

fun crafts and games with the parent volunteers who come in to help.

My mom or dad might have a chance to come in and help.

There are four kindergarten teachers. They are all very nice. I will find

out who my teacher is in August before school starts. There are two

helper teachers.

When I go into class, I will hang my backpack in a cubby and sit at my

seat. I will have a mailbox where I will get my mail.

I will have library once a week. Ms. Kunkle is our librarian. She will

read us a story then I’ll get to check out books.

I will have gym once a week. Mr. Kerekes and Mr. Scaglione are the

gym teachers. We call them “Mr. K” and “Mr. S”. I will exercise, play

games and learn sports with my class.

Mrs. Hanak is the Speech Therapist. She will

come into our classroom to help us with our

Mr. Traumuller is the Guidance Counsellor.

We call him “Mr. T”. He will come into our

classroom to talk to us about our feelings, how

to solve problems and lessons about kindness

and making friends.

Mrs. Crowley is the school nurse. If I get hurt

or feel sick, I can go see her and she will help

me.

Buzzer Bee is the school mascot. We will have “red and white” day

once a month where we can wear our Bower Hill shirts or any red shirt

to show our school spirit!

I will be learning a lot of new things in kindergarten. I’m going to try

my best every day and show them how smart I am. Kindergarten is

going to be great!
