Question 1

Answer 1
Lunch hour may change in fall so keep an eye out for the mailings from Lake Bluff.
Question 2

Answer 2
You can send money any day and it will be added to your "account". Children just need to give their number when getting lunch. Teachers have the numbers and have students memorize them.
Question 3

Answer 3
General questions specific to individual children can be answered via email from this site, phone (963-6972 EXT. 4133) or if you drop a note in the Important Paper Box (suitcase near blue couch) we will call you at a time convenient to all. We will be having 2 parent/student/teacher conferences during the year so that is another option. We ask your understanding if we are unable or seem unwilling to talk with you during the school day. It's not that we don't want to, but there is generally a lot going on that we need to monitor. For personal or urgent situations, we will certainly make ourselves available with no delay.
Question 4

Answer 4
No. Children participate in many kinds of groupings throughout the day. Sometimes we work whole group, but generally you will see small groups or independent work time monitored by Ms. Mahaffey and Ms. Cassidy. Children go to specials like art, music, p.e. and Spanish in classroom size groups of 21. Those are the Red and Blue groups.
Question 5

Answer 5
Yes. We have recess and lunch recess at the same time other 1-3 graders do.
Question 6

Answer 6
The group of 41 is divided in half, Red and Blue groups of first and second graders. They go to art, music, p.e., library and spanish in these classroom sized groups. Ms. Mahaffey has Red Group, Ms. Cassidy blue. At times we have to break kids into groups according to grade. Orange is first grade and yellow is 2nd grade. So if your child is in Blue group and orange group that means they are first graders who hang their coats on the south end of the classroom and go to specials with Ms. Cassidy. They are assigned to these groups for the year, but the other groups formed for instruction and activities change very often.
Question 7

Answer 7
A big advantage is that we have children for two years, thus giving all of us time. The amount of stress at the beginning of each year is diminished because we always know half the class and their families. Throughout the year the children get to know Kitty Moore and Mike Roberts who teach MAC2 (3rd and 4th grade), so again the transition is met with a bit more security. Academically, we are able to group children for math and reading with other children at a similar level of competency, skill level and interest. This comes about because of the double grade in one room and because of the flow that can take place among all the MAC classes in the building.
Question 8

Answer 8
Yes. Any test given from the district or required for any other Shorewood student will be administered to our students as well.
Question 9

Answer 9
We love it. Parents are welcome to come in and stay for the song and go, or if they want, can read with children or help out in other ways. It's hard to schedule particular days of the week because of our crazy 6 day instead of 5 day schedule, so we leave things very flexible for all of us.
Question 10

Answer 10
MAC 1 (1st/2nd): Kelly Cassidy and Foyne Mahaffey MAC 2 (3rd/4th): Mike Roberts and Kitty Moore MAC 3 (5th/6th): Sachin Pandya and Amy Miller. Rooms are on each side of hallway as you walk past office going south and directly above on 2nd floor.
