Birthdays:
Our class loves to help each other celebrate their birthday. On their birthday, students get a birthday crown, sang to, and the chance to pick our songs/brain breaks throughout the day.
Some families like to send in treats for the whole class to help us celebrate at the end of the day. If you would like to send in treats, please make sure they follow our snack guidelines (shown above) and let me know at least the day before that you are providing treats. It is not necessary to send in a treat.
Some good choices for class treats are mini cupcakes, cookies, donuts, mini candy bars, etc.
Snack Guidance:
We have 16 total students in our classroom. It is preferable that snacks that are individually prepackaged. Examples of snacks include individual bags of goldfish/veggie straws/popcorn, squeezable yogurt/applesauce, fruit snacks, granola bars, cheese sticks, crackers, etc.
NOTE: If your child has a particular diet or is particularly picky when it comes to food, you are more than welcome to pack them a small snack from home. We base what we eat for snack on what our families graciously donate to our classroom. If you choose to pack a snack for your child, please follow the same snack guidance provided below. If this choice works better for you, we would love to still encourage you to sign-up for a snack week to help support our classroom. Thank you!
Allergies:
We are aiming to be a nut-free classroom! Please respect this for our friends who may have a nut allergy.

Social Justice at School
Social Justice at School
Our grade level loves to share resources with families if they would like to utilize them. I understand that every family's situation and experiences are vastly different, and there is NO pressure to utilize these resources:
Formerly "Teaching Tolerance", Learning for Justice has valuable resources, including articles and discussion points for leading your kiddos in a discussion about hard topics such as racial injustice.
This link has SO many valuable resources geared towards parents, families, kids, and teachers.
This is an incredibly powerful book. I recommend that parents listen through it before reading it to their kids. It is the story of a police shooting of a Black man, and it is gives the perspective of a white family explaining it to their children, and a Black family. It is written for children, and is very child accessible and well written. I highly recommend sharing it with your kids when you feel ready.
A read aloud read by the author of the book, A Kids Book About Racism, talks about racism in kid friendly terms, in an easy to understand way.
