In the front inside pocket of your binder you will
find a class list as well as information on our class web site. The web site
is easy to navigate and is filled with a lot of great information. Throughout
the year many pictures will be posted on the web site so that you can see what
is happening in our classroom. Please check it often- changes occur regularly.

Zipper Pocket:
Money

This is where you should put all money to be
brought to school (field trips, book orders, lunch or snack money, if your
child stays all day etc). This way we know where to find it and it doesn't get
lost in the bottom of a backpack.
