Classroom Basics

Home Folders/Planners - Please take time to look in your child's home folder and planner every night. School work and handouts will come home in the home folder. A message about our day will be written in the planner each day. Please help your child bring the planner and home folder back to school each day. Also, you can send things (notes to me, lunch money, forms for the office, etc) back to school in the home folder.

Water - Staying hydrated is important for learning! I encourage you to send a water bottle with your child each day. I will try and remind them to take them home each day as well! :)

Snacks - We will take a short afternoon break in which kids can have a small healthy snack if they choose. Good snack items for school include: fresh fruit or veggies, meat stick, string cheese, dry cereal, crackers, popcorn, etc. Please avoid snacks with peanuts, almonds, peas or hard boiled eggs as we do have students with allergies.

Volunteering - I would love to have your help in our classroom!! A few options for volunteering:

• regular weekly volunteers - commit to coming into the classroom one particular day each week at the same time

• monthly volunteers - I will include specific dates/times for upcoming needs in a Friday newsletter

• one time volunteer - share a talent or interest with the class

Email me anytime (holkr@district112.org) to set up a regular time slot or with any questions.
