Due to our early lunch, we have snack time every day at 12:40 p.m. Please send a daily nutritious snack with your child.
We love celebrating birthdays! You are welcome to bring a special birthday treat for the class to enjoy. No candles, please. Any birthday treats will be shared at 1:50 p.m. to avoid an interruption to our instructional schedule. Birthday party invitations may also be handed out as long as EVERY child receives one. We do not want any kids to feel left out!
Your child will have homework Monday through Thursday. Homework will consist of work that reinforces the skills taught at school in Math, Language Arts, Social Studies or Science. Some of it may require your help, but most homework will be something your child can complete independently. Homework needs to be turned in the following day. I will not assign grades to this work but I will record that it was completed and turned in on time. Every three weeks we will complete a Junior Great Book story so there will be additional reading assigned. Reading for at least ten minutes every night and practicing basic math facts is also an expectation in our classroom to benefit your child. Thank you for helping your child with this responsibility.
You will receive progress reports on Friday every two weeks. These reports will give you a general idea of things your child needs to work on at home, as well as let you know the areas in which your child is excelling. This will also include any necessary notes to be reviewed and signed by you. Please sign and return this weekly report form on Monday.
