Kindergarten Programs
Welcome to the Kindergarten Guidance Page
This year your child will complete one of the most important milestone of his/her life-their first year of school.
CHARACTER EDUCATION
Every month I will be visiting your child's classroom for Character Education. The monthly themes are located on my Character Awards link. The Character Education program at Bradt School is designed to strengthen the home-school connection and show how important it is for families to reinforce good character at home.
We Are a Bucket Filling School
This all school program is based on the children's book, Have You Filled a BucketToday? A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids. Please refer to the Bucket Fillers link for more information on how you and your family can be bucket fillers.
Peacemaking Skills for Little Kids: I Care Cat
Starting in late January I will be visiting your child's Kindergarten class to talk to students about the Peacemaking Skills Program, I Care Cat. I Care Cat teaches students 5 I Care Cat rules which help students to become better peacemakers at school and at home. The 5 I Care Cat rules are:
We listen to each other
Hands are for helping, not hurting
We use I Care language
We care about each other's feelings
We are responsible for what we say and do
More information regarding I Care Cat will be provided to you after December break. If you have any questions or conerns about any of these programs please feel free to contact me.
