A Look Into Our Classrooms
Kindergarten

Nancy, Nuestro Mundo's occupational therapist, works with kindergarteners on proper letter formation and writing skills. We appreciate her closely working with students to make sure that their individual learning needs are met.

Ms. Devlin's kindergarten students engage in a targeted literary center during their daily centers session. Centers are an important educational component in kindergartners' daily routine as they provide an opportunity for them to but their theoretical learning into practice with hands-on objects that serve to solidify their writing, letter recognition, organization, and numerical skills.

Weekly Reminders
Please make sure that everyday:
- Students must wear their uniforms to school. As we approach the colder months, please note that a hooded sweatshirt is not allowed. Donnelly's has Nuestro Mundo fleece sweaters if your child needs another layer to stay warm. If a child arrives without a uniform, parents will be called to bring the uniform to school everyday.
- Students come in to school with a face mask and full water bottle
- To ensure everyone's safety, make sure that before your student enters the school building you fill out the COVID screener daily sent to your email. If you are not receiving it, please check your spam or promotions folder to make sure that you are receiving all school communications.
- If your child is sick or experiencing any symptoms, please reach out to our nurse, Jarlenne Fermin, at (401) 210-1743 or email at jfermin@nmpcs.k12.ri.us to check in and she can advise next steps
- To align with our mission of avoiding food waste, please ensure that you are ordering your student's monthly meal orders on the last Wednesday of the current month so their order would be included for the following month through EZ School Apps. If you do not sign up, or do not place an order for your child, the expectation is that they come to school already having eaten breakfast and with a packed lunch from home.
- Students have snack time in the morning or afternoon, which Nuestro Mundo does not provide. Please make sure to pack snacks for your student everyday.
- Our arrival time is at 8:05 to 8:25am. Please do not drop-off students before 8:05am and any student that arrives after 8:25am will be marked tardy.
- For arrivals after 8:25, please call the main office (401) 210-1555 and we will meet you at the door to sign in your child in with the time and reason for being tardy.
