The Ever Mysterious Kindie Backpack

Right about this time of the year I start to get questions about the students' backpacks.  There are concerns about papers coming home and papers being turned in at school.  First of all, let me reassure you that having trouble with this is very normal!

In Kindergarten we work on unpacking the backpack and handing in notes, library books, Tuesday envelopes and homework all year long!  It is one of the toughest things to get used to for many children.  I remind them each morning to check their bag to see if there is anything to hand in.  On very important days, such as picture day, I will actually check the bag of anyone who is missing important papers.

The children will clearly hear the message at home and at school:  Check your backpack!  Together we will have each student taking charge of this job by the end of the year!
