Helpful Information
Please note:
SNACKS: It is recommended that each child brings a snack daily. We will have snack time in the AM as we have an late lunch slot this year. Please make sure your son or daughter's snack is healthy finger food and does not require utensils.
WATER : We have a water fountain in our hallway available to all. If, however, you would like your son or daughter to bring a water bottle or container to school daily, that is fine. Please be sure it is water only in the room.
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS: We will be celebrating birthdays in the classroom with store bought treats this year. Please send any treats or favors to school with your child on their birthday.
BOOK ORDERS: I send book orders home throughout the year. If you choose to order, you may enclose cash or a check made out to the appropriate book company, or you may order online. When ordering online, please use our CLASS CODE: HRVBQ . Note that if you desire to order these books as a gift and want them hidden from your child, let me know on the order and I will contact you personally and arrange a time for you to pick up the order.
HOMEWORK: Your child will have homework on most Monday-Thursday school days. The homework will usually reinforce a taught concept and will provide further practice of a learned skill. Please try to establish a homework routine for your son or daughter. Also, encourage and help your child to learn to do it independently and within a "reasonable" amount of time (certainly try to be available for guidance if needed). Your son or daughter should take the responsibility of putting it into his or her folder to return to school. Encourage as much independence as possible with this activity.
