You may bring in a small treat for your child’s birthday. Do not bring cake or something that needs to be cut. Please also be mindful of food allergies.
Blue Binders
Please check and return these everyday. No other folder is needed. All communication from school to home should come through this.
Bathrooms
There is a bathroom in the classroom. I will not deny a student use of the bathroom, however I will ask students to wait if we are actively engaged in learning. Please talk with your child about this and not waiting until “it’s an emergency”.

Weekly newsletters will be placed in your child’s blue binder. It will come home each week letting you know what we are working on as well as weekly assignments and announcements.

Homework will begin around the 2nd or 3rd week of school. There will typically be two assignments, one for reading/letter practice and one for math. Homework will come home on Monday and is due on Friday. My goal in assigning homework is to give you and your child a chance to work on something together. If at anytime your child is becoming frustrated or upset just stop then let me know and I will work with them here. Again, my goal is not to create stress or anxiety for your or your child. If you have questions let me know.
