Tips for the School Year:

Work plans- Work plans are to be done at school; they are not homework unless specified by the teacher.  All students work at different paces....every child may not complete their work plan each day and this is OKAY!

Homework - I do not have homework plans.  I believe that home time should be spent with family, resting, bonding, and following nightly routines.  If you would like your child to do homework, there are always things that they can work on such as: math facts, handwriting, reading aloud, spelling, and being creative.

Birthdays - Because we do not have assistants in the classroom this year and we are trying to be a Silver Healthy School, we are asking that parents do not bring Birthday treats or celebration items.  Other ideas for your child's birthday: Eat lunch with your child in the cafeteria, send a special healthy snack for the day (fresh fruit, cheese, or veggies), or you may send treat bags for the students and I will send them home at the end of the day!


Snacks
 A list of approved healthy snacks for our school district is available online.  It is very important that we have healthy snacks within our classroom on a daily basis and for special events.  It would be very helpful if snacks could be in individual packages or Ziploc bags, due to the fact that we will not have an assistant this year. We have 22 students.  We will also be skipping the cupcakes and sweets for birthdays this year, because we are trying to become a Silver Healthy School!
