This Week's News:

We made it through our first day with the boys and with the girls! Monday day will be the big test.... all 27 of us joined together! I think they will do great! A conduct sheet will be in their folder, but this will be a "practice week" although the kids won't be told that! We want to get them used to their new classroom and its rules as quickly as possible!

EVERY DAY, please remember to send a snack and water bottle for your child.

They only need ONE snack/day, our snacktime is not long enough for them to have more than one thing unless they are VERY small packages or amounts.

Please remind your child to unpack their lunch and bring it to the lunch box table under our conduct board when they get here in the mornings if they have brought their own lunch. It helps us figure out who has brought their lunch in the mornings without having to search through all the book sacks and open up the bags to figure out if what they have is a snack or a lunch.

We also need their snacks to be packed seperately from their lunch.

They will be able to go straight to the designated lunchbox area and set their bag down, and we will be able to quickly report the numbers to the cafeteria.

Snacks will remain inside book sacks until afternoon snack time, and not mistaken for part of their lunch!

Thank you for all your help in making our first week smooth and successful! We are looking forward to a great week!!
