Literacy+Bags

=4K Literacy Bags=

Literacy bags were designed for the purpose of giving parents optional enrichment opportunities to support the 4K curriculum at home. These bags were put together with a collection of favorite children's literature, stuffed animal friends, and extension activities that are aligned with the WMELS (Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards), and provide extra fun activities for parents to enjoy with their 4K child.

The following are the Literacy Bag check out procedure and guidelines, as well as a list of the 20 different bags with a short description of each, to help families select bags they would like to check out.


 * Families will have the opportunity to check out a bag on Mondays of most weeks. The eligible weeks will be listed on the Website Newsletter as well as on the Check Out Form in the classroom.
 * Families will need to decide which Literacy Bag they are interested in and make their request on Monday before class to the teachers. If the parent does not accompany their child to school, they can email their top 3 choices (in order) to Mrs. Tenpenny on Sunday night or early Monday morning. We will then send the bag home in the child's backpack. It will be a first come, first serve situation, so email early. Please include the numbers of the bags you have chosen in your email.
 * **__The Literacy Bags MUST BE returned at the beginning of class on Friday.__**
 * Please check the top of the activity card where it lists the bag contents and __be sure that all items are returned in the bag on Friday__.
 * These bags are for parents and their 4K children to enjoy together. Please be aware that there are small pieces that are potentially dangerous for younger siblings.
 * Please call or email if you have any questions or feedback. tenpennyc@sfbschool.org
