Our Thanksgiving play is looking terrific! The children have worked hard and are just about ready to perform for you.

They are so excited ! The already performed for the Pre-school and did a terrific job. Monday we will perform for Mrs. Santos' First Grade. Thank you for practicing the words to our songs. It has made a difference.

A letter with information about what your child needs to wear went home last week. Please let me know if you have any questions. Indians ( Native Anericans) should wear earth tones (brown, tan, dark green). Pilgrims should wear black and white.

The play will be performed on Tuesday November 24 at

1:00 pm. Please let me know ASAP if your child will not be in school that day as we will need to rearrange for one less student.

Conference time notices were sent home . I did my best to meet each of your requests. I also did my best to coordinate with the teachers of any siblings that you listed.If you are unable to make the time scheduled please let me know. Just keep in mind that my schedule is just about full.I ask that you also remember that children should NOT attend the conference. We will be able to speak more openly about any of our concerns without children.

Parent Volunteers-

Volunteer calendars for December, January and February will be going home this week If you would like to get on the schedule please let me know. Send a note or give me a call (732-330-3758)

Mornings are when we need the most help, however if afternoons work for you please let me know. Tuesday afternoons we are in the Computer Lab. Lots of help is needed there.

Have a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving!

HOMEWORK- Most of the children are doing a good job on their homework.Thank you for your support. Please review the directions with your child. Remember, Homework is THEIR responsibility. It is very important for them to do the work themselves. When they are done please review the work and go over anything they completed incorrectly. After homework is returned please review with them any corrections I have made especially on letter and number formation.

If you have not done so, please read the information below.

           

1)      LUNCH- We will be having the first lunch period this year- 11:20am

Your child may buy lunch. Please make sure you have perpaid money on your child's account. The lunchroom can be very overwhelming. The children only have about 20 minutes to finish their lunch. Another group of students will be coming into the lunchroom at that time and your kindergarten will be going out for recess. Please make sure your child’s NAME is CLEARLY MARKED on all lunch boxes, bags, thermos’ and ice packs.

    

2)      SNACK- Our snack time will be around 2:00pm since we have the early lunch.

      Ridgeway Elementary School  DOES NOT provide snack or a drink. You MUST      

      PACK a SMALL, HEALTHY SNACK and DRINK for your child

      EVERYDAY.

Snacks should be packed in a separate bag from your child’s lunch in order to insure that they do not eat their snack for lunch!!!

  

3)      DRESS IN LAYERS- I strongly encourage you to dress your child in layers

EVERYDAY!  I keep my classroom rather chilly which helps cut down on the germs (and keeps Mrs. Fusaro comfy). Therefore your child should keep a light sweater, sweatshirt or jacket in their backpack. The weather at recess time can also be very different from the morning. Sometimes children need to add or remove clothing to be comfortable outside.

        

4)      BACKPACK and FOLDERS your child needs to bring a backpack and their

folder to school  EVERYDAY. Please make sure their NAME is clearly written on each item. Their backpack should be large enough for their lunch, snack and folder to fit comfortably in. Folders should be replaced when they become ripped.

It is VERY important for you to EMPTY your child’s folder everyday.
