Do the children go outside for recess?

Yes, studies have shown that movement and play are very important 
for a 
child's physical and mental development.  Weather permitting, we 
will be 
outside every day so it is necessary that children come prepared 
with hats, 
mittens, boots, etc. when needed.  Snowpants can be left in the 
lockers for 
the cold weather months.  We also encourage girls to wear shorts 
under their 
jumpers so they can be active on the playground.

What is your classroom routine?

We plan our language arts activities in the morning when the 
children are 
fresh.  We have reading groups, free choice reading, and writing 
workshop 
before lunch.  In the afternoon we cover math, social studies or 
science and  religion.
Fridays we have group center time with both classes to work on 
cooperation, negotiation, and problem solving skills.

birthday.  We encourage healthy snacks.

What is your homework policy?

Homework will be assigned almost daily.  Please check the 
assignment notebooks each night and sign it before returning it 
to school the next morning.  If your child has homework specific 
to him/her, it may not be listed in the notebook.  Please also 
check their take home folder.
