When is snack time for my child and do I need to provide a snack?

We will have snack time in the morning.  Students may purchase milk tickets 
in the office or you may also pay for milk for the year.  Students need to 
bring their own snack.  No candy please.  Students may drink water or milk at 
snack time.  No juice please.

What is the Take Home Folder?

Each child has a special folder called the Take Home Folder.  These folders 
will be sent home everyday, and your child needs to bring it back everyday.  
The folder is used to send home school work and any important notes for 
school.  You may also use the folder for sending notes, lunch money, or 
other important information to school.  Please check the folder every 
night.

What should I do if my child needs medication at school?

The nurse will give all necessary medication.  She will need written 
permission from you to give medication to your child.  There are forms 
available in the office and information in the school handbook.  The 
medicine must be in the original container.

Do you celebrate birthdays in the classroom?

Our class will celebrate birthdays by wearing a birthday hat and singing to 
the child in the classroom.  We will celebrate summer birthdays on the half 
birthday. If you would like to send a birthday snack you 
may, however this is NOT required.  All birthday snacks need to be purchased 
at a store or bakery.  The cafeteria offers some snacks that can be delivered 
right to the classroom!  You can pick up a sheet that tells what is offered 
and the price of each item.  We cannot serve homemade snacks.  We have 22 
children in our class at this time.  We do have a student with a peanut 
allergy so please check the label of all classroom snacks!

Will my child have homework?

Your child will receive a list of spelling words to study.  Please practice 
these words at home.  If you need ideas for ways to practice spelling at 
home, please ask.  The spelling tests are every Friday.  New words will be 
sent home on Friday.  
Students will also receive a list of words that they need to memorize during 
the week.  Please practice reading these words at home, as students will be 
tested on them each Friday.  
Please try to read 10 minutes each night with your child.  I will send home 
booklets at least once a week marked with the work READ.  Please read these 
with your child and return them to school with your initials.  Occasionally 
there will be an assignment to do at home, and these I will mark HOMEWORK.  
Return at your earliest convenience!  
We will be working on addition and subtraction facts to 12.  Practicing at 
home will help your child learn these facts more quickly.
