Hello Everyone!
Well we have survived the first week and the heat! Just a couple of thoughts and reminders… First we have 16 students in our class. 13 Boys and 3 Girls.
Please if you have not purchased a one inch white binder ( ok if a different color) for their Leadership binder, please do so as soon as possible. We will start creating the binders soon.
Also, if you have not provided a change of clothing for possible accidents while at school for their locker, please place a change of clothing in a bag with your child’s name.
I am looking for two more parents to be Homeroom Parents for our classroom. Mrs. Cameron ( Hazel’s Mother) volunteered already. If you would be interested in helping me and Hazel’s mother please contact me.
Today an All About Me paper was sent home in your child’s folder. Please complete as much as possible and send back in the school folder. There are two sides. This information will allow for me to better understand and get to know each child in my classroom.
Please remember that our snack time is in the afternoon. Remind your child where you have packed their snack and please do not put it in their lunch box. I recommend having their snack in a separate bag so that they know what is lunch and what is snack. Also, no juice for snack and make the snack one that is small and easy to eat.
Today a Behavior Calendar was sent home in their red folder. Please look at the calendar each day to see how your child was at school. Keep the calendar in the folder and return to school each day. Green means they were good. Yellow they had a warning or a little problem that they could not fix throughout the day, (many warnings) Orange means we had a major problem where I had to contact you ( parent/guardian) about the situation. Red, MAJOR problem where we have to complete a think sheet and Mrs. Tiba our principal is involved.
I have decided to try to have a small snack in the morning while I am reading a story or we are watching a story online. Each child will have the same small simple snack. I will either use small dixie cups or silicone cupcake containers. This snack is just something small to keep us stable to lunch time. I am going to create a sign up sheet available on Open House night for each child to bring in a snack for the month. Do to my lack of space and I do not want all the snacks brought in at the same time ( rodents and becoming stale). I have never done this so please be patient with me as we try this out. More information to come.
This week we have been working on procedures and getting to know each other and making friends. We will be doing a lot of activities with our names and the letters in our names. Please remind your child often that we need to try our best at school and to listen and follow directions the first time. Friday’s will be our reward/success party day.
Have a good week.
