Q&A with Ms. Kunkel

How do I contact you?
A: During the day, email is the best way to reach me. If I receive your email I will send you a quick response in order to inform you I have read your email and if a more lengthy response is necessary it will come at a later time.  You may also contact me via phone at school (214-3660) or via my cell phone. Texts are welcome!

Q: How do I find out what is happening in the classroom?
A: A newsletter will be posted to the blog and personal emails will be sent frequently. In addition, you can check for updates via our blog, Twitter feed (@NkunkelK), or class Facebook page.

Q: Do you send home Friday folders?

A: Yes.  You'll need to check out your child's "behavior checklist" and initial it each week.  Folders should be returned to school each Monday.

Q: Will my child have homework?  How much?

A: I am still pondering how I want homework to work this year to ensure it is purposeful and appropriate.  More information will be coming soon...

Q: Will my child need to read each night?  

A: Reading each night is strongly encouraged. This activity makes a huge difference in creating positive reading habits and making reading a priority.  Please let me know if you need books or other reading material at home. 

Q: What if my child forgets his/her homework?

A: Your child simply needs to say, "I forgot my homework, and will bring it tomorrow." If this becomes a consistant issue, other arrangements may be made in order to allow them to finish it during the school day.  This time may include thier personal recess time. 

Q: Can my child bring a snack to school?

A: Yes. Snacks should be mess free, and not require prep or utensils.  Snacks should be (mostly) healthy.  Examples: apple slices, squeeze yogurt, strawberries, grapes, carrot sticks, Cheerios.
*Do not send chips, cookies, or drinks.
