Daily snacks We will be having a snack each day. This is an individual choice or preference, not a whole class snack. Each child may bring in two snacks per day one for the morning and one for the afternoon. I ask that these be a healthy snack, NO candy, cookies or chips please. Your child should be able to eat this snack within five to ten minutes.
Book orders
I will be sending home book orders once a month for anyone who is interested. I need you to write all checks out to the individual book clubs. You can also find the book orders on line the class activation code is: HMBVL. Please do not write checks to the school or to me when ordering books.
Water bottles I will allow the students to have a water bottle in class. I ask that it have a snap tight top to prevent spills.
Gym shoes
We are asking that each child have a separate pair of shoes to leave in their cubby for gym class. This will help to save our gym floor and provides a second pair of shoes in the winter. Remember to buy non-marking shoes with low soles on Wednesday.
Birthdays If your child would like to have a special treat brought in for their birthday, it is fine. Please send me a note three days prior to the day so I can plan time for the special treat. I will also make arrangements to celebrate your child’s summer birthday if you wish.
Dress your child for the weather of the day we go outside twice a day.
Homework
Homework will be any class work that the students do not finish during the day. We will also have a home link sheet for math and the students need to read for 15 min daily which will be marked in the planners.
Daily Planners and Friday Folders
Each day the student will have a planner that come home with the days activities written out by your child. Friday Your child will come home with a Orange Folder with work for the week and notes for you to read.
