[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my Spanish-speaking family, we usually say kinder, but in DCUM land it’s abbreviated as “K.” Just don’t call it “kindy” and you’ll be ok. [b]I’d leave the items in the backpack, maybe put a sticky that says “these came in late” or something, so the teacher knows they’re not extras[/b]. [/quote] Do something like this. Even better to keep it in the folder since the teacher checks the folder and not the backpack (in my district we’re not allowed to go through students’ backpacks). Just put a note on the items so the teacher understands what they’re for. The teacher probably doesn’t want to assume they’re donations and run the risk that a parent will be mad at her for taking something that isn’t hers. It’s better to not take it than risk an angry parent asking where her DD’s prized possession went because the parent put it in the folder for safekeeping. Seriously. The teacher might have the thought in the morning to contact you to ask, but by the end of the day too much else has gone on and it’s low on the priority list. The first week is chaos. So if you could just send her a quick email or put a note on the items it would be much appreciated rather than putting the onus on the teacher to assume what the items are for or to contact you about it. —teacher[/quote]
