Announcements

Report cards went home today. Please go over it with you child. Sign and
return the envelope as soon as possible. 

Holiday Boutique is on 12/8 for homeroom 19.

A few reminders...
The website is updated on a weekly basis. Monday night is a good time to 
check the website. If there is an update in the middle of the week it will be 
assigned for homework.Please continue to visit this website often during the 
year for information about what's going on in our class! 

We have a WORKING snack each day . Please send your child to school 
with a healthy, easy-to-eat snack. We do not allow any drinks besides water 
bottles in my classroom during snack due to the chance of sticky spillage and 
ruined books and papers. Thank you for your understanding.

Mr. Leiberman has asked all parents to please follow the district guidelines 
when sending in birthday treats. No item that has sugar as the first 
ingredient or candy should be sent into the school for any reason. If parents 
are not sure and also to have time, they can purchase treats through the 
child nutrition department. They can e-mail them at childnutrition@ebnet.org 
or call at 732-613-6717. Mr. Leiberman appreciates everyone's cooperation. 
ALSO, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SEND IN NAPKINS AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS NEEDED TO 
EAT THE SNACK! I always have a few napkins on hand left over 
from parties and such, but not always enough for the whole class.

Our class is a peanut free zone.  A letter from Mrs. Ladman HAS gone 
home to explain what our responsibility as a class community is to keep all 
of our children safe. There CAN NOT be any munchkins in Mrs. Sountis.

Lunch ticket money is now collected on Friday.

PTA is still requesting to continue to collect Box Top rewards. 

If students are printing any assignments they are to email them to the 
assigned teacher.

To get in touch with teachers it is better to email. Look in your 
child's homework agenda for the address.

When the Friday Folders are issued to the students they need to be signed 
and returned on Monday.  Please take out all of the papers and keep them at 
home for future reference. Only send back all quizzes and tests signed and 
any assignment(s)that you or your child have a question about it.  This is 
an important resource for parents to know how their children are doing in 
school. *All tests,  Web logs, and reading lists  are to be signed and 
returned ASAP.

Parents please check you child's homework agenda on a daily basis. Set up a 
routine to make sure this can be accomplished. The agenda is an important 
communication piece between parent, student, and teacher. In the front of 
the agenda there is the website address, teachers' email addresses and a 
homework buddy's phone # if further assistance is needed.

The password this week is nonfiction. We have started own new reading unit 
that features the nonfiction genre. The students were asked to look for a 
biography book of someone they would like to learn about by Tuesday, 
December 1st. Directions for the biography book report will be coming home 
soon.*Remember to have your child write the password in their homework 
agendas and a parent/guardian initial it every Monday for homework.
