** Water bottles should be brought to school. I encourage students to bring water bottles to have in our classroom. Students will then be able to get a drink when necessary and not leave the classroom during class time. They can be refilled during nutrition breaks so they are full for the next class.
** Indoor shoes are required at all times. Students must have indoor shoes on in the classroom at all times. Indoor running shoes (without black soles) are needed for gym every Day 4. When we have nice weather we sometimes have gym outside. So I am encouraging students to be prepared with outdoor running shoes too, just in case. Students must have a change of clothes in order to participate in gym classes. We have discussed the importance of using deoderant after our gym classes as well. No spray deoderants or body sprays are allowed. ** The Grade Five classes have 5 classroom rules: 1. Respect yourself, your peers, and your teachers; 2. Keep your hands, feet, and all other objects to yourself; 3. Be prepared and complete all work to the best of your ability; 4. Listen carefully and follow all instructions the first time given; and 5. Complete seatwork cooperatively and quietly. ** Kleenex and paper towels. Thank you to all students and parents for sending in a box of kleenex and a roll of paper towel for our classroom. We no longer can get paper towel for our classroom as the board has implemented new hand dryers and the school no longer orders paper towel for the classrooms. Thanks for your help. We have a good supply of both for now.
