A few items to note

Money

When sending money to school with your child, it needs to be in an envelope or baggie with your child’s name on it. It would help if you wrote Dimitriou on it as well. Sometimes the envelope or baggie fall out in the hallway and if it has the teacher’s name on it, it is easier to locate the teacher than a student.

Homework

The homework this year is not a packet, it is one sheet of paper. The children will complete a half sheet for each day. On top of this homework, there is math homework each night. The math homework will be completed in their math workbooks which came home yesterday. The math workbooks stay at home and do not need to be returned to school. These are for extra practice at home.

In addition to the above mentioned homework, today the login information for RazKids, Readingeggs, and Mathseeds will be coming home. Razkids is a great resource for books and comprehension activities. Readingseggs helps the children with letter identification, letter sounds, word families, spelling and much more. Mathseeds teaches about number sense, counting, addition, and subtraction. These are all interactive subscription based websites that Haigh pays for and provides for our families. We will also be using these websites in class.

Windows

We would love to have our shades open, but having parents looking in the windows at arrival and dismissal does not help the children gain independence or help them to start their day. Especially if your child is have separation anxiety, standing in the window is not helping. Please be respectful and do not stand in the windows in the morning or afternoon. We love to have our windows open and observe the weather and enjoy the sunshine.

Thank you for your help i
