There is still time to place your Scholastic Book Orders for November.  I will be placing the order after school tomorrow, Monday November 11th.

50th Day Celebration-Friday, November 15th: The children are to come dressed in their 50s themed clothes.  I have an extra poodle skirt if one of the girls needs to borrow it.  Please e-mail me and I will send it home with your daughter.




Craft-  We are still collecting empty paper towel rolls and toilet paper rolls.  You can send in either 2 toilet paper rolls or 1 paper towel roll.  We will be using the empty rolls for a craft this week.  Please send in by next Wednesday, November 13th.  Thank you!



Homework:  Homework Notebooks are due tomorrow 11/11!  All activities should be signed and completed in pencil and pictures should be colored in with crayons or colored pencils.  After checking the notebooks, they will go home again tomorrow to complete this week's activities.

Changes of Clothes-As the weather is starting to change, please swap the current clothes and replace with seasonally appropriate ones. Please put in a gallon size ziplock bag a complete change of seasonally appropriate clothes (socks, underwear, etc.)  and put it in your child's backpack.  These will remain in the backpacks unless they are needed or a change of season happens.  Thank you for your help with this.

Snacks:

Please remember to pack your child a healthy, peanut/tree nut free snack in the morning with a small water only. No juice boxes please.

Rest Time:

Rest time is one favorite part of the day, for both the students and teacher :).  If your child would like to bring in one, quiet, stuffed friend to snuggle with, they may.  They will keep it in their backpacks and get them out at rest time.  Please no pillows or blankets.  



Daily Communication Folders:  
 
A blue folder will come home with your child DAILY.  Please check and empty it each day and return it to school.  This is one way we will communicate with you at home.

Classroom Information:

Communication (Parent/Teacher): 1. School Website and Teacher Page - I update my webpage on a weekly basis and will have it ready, at the latest, Monday morning. Please check my teacher web page each week. This is important information pertaining to our classroom and your child. There is also important information on the school website. Please get into the habit of checking both pages. 2. Folder: Each child will have one folder that will come home daily. Updates, homework, and any other classroom or school communications will be included in this folder. Please check it and return it to school everyday.

School Uniforms: Please make sure to look over the student handbook regarding the school uniform. Also, please label all sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, school bags, etc. with your child's first and last name. Also please work with them on how to zip or button up their jackets and school sweaters. Girls: If your daughter is wearing the school jumper please have her wear a pair of small shorts underneath. Boys: If your son is wearing a belt, please practice with him how to buckle and unbuckle his belt.


Bathroom: We go to the bathroom everyday at snack time which is around 9:30, again before lunch at 11:30 and right after lunch around 12:30. Please remind your child to raise their hand if it is a true emergency, so we don't have so many interruptions.
