Bihun Kindergarten Long Beach Elementary 630-636-3324 email cbihun0715@oswego308.org     Hop Into School!!!       Well the school year has finally started and I am sooo excited!  I have a great group of students this year and I cant wait to get to know them and all of the parents a little better.  I want to thank all of you for your patients this past week with all of the new drop off and pick up procedures.  It seems to be working out very well and will only continue to get better as the weeks go on.   As all of you know Curriculum night is just around the corner and I am looking forward to seeing you all again!  I will be discussing our curriculum and activities that we do in class in a little more depth as well as introducing my new behavior plan.  I know all of the kids will love it!   Please continue the emailing or sending in notes when ever there is a change in your childs pick up procedure or if you have any concerns.  I am a very big advocate of communication and  I hope to continue this as the year goes on.    I recently sent home the blue sound books, and those are the books that need to be brought back to school everyday.  The white ABC books are the books that can stay at home.  I also recently started sending home work packets.  Those packets are for your son/daughter to work on at home to help reienforce the skill that are taught that week in class.  However, your child may bring them back to school and I will look at them, but it is not HOMEWORK that needs to turned in on a weely basis.  Again if you have any questions please feel free to contact me any time.    I am looking foward to a great school year, as I am sure you are as well!
