HOMEWORK
Beginning on the third week of school, your child will have homework every night (Monday through Thursday). Most weeks, there will be spelling (Fundations) practice to be completed with an adult at home. This will come home each Monday and be due back at school each Friday. Reading for 15 minutes is required each night. 2-3 times a week, I will also send math homework that will be due back at school the next day. Overall, homework will take about 20 minutes per night.
BIRTHDAYS
The school policy is as follows: We love to recognize children’s birthdays. However, NO FOOD, BALLOONS or GOODY BAGS are permitted for these celebrations. If you would like your child’s birthday to be recognized, please reach out to your child’s teacher at least one week in advance. Your child’s teacher will share the way(s) in which birthdays will be recognized in class.
In school, our class policy is this: Your child will feel special on his or her birthday!
1) The class will make a card for your child with paper in the color your child chooses.
2) We will sing to your child.
3) Your child can pick 2 items from the birthday drawer - crowns, certificates, pencils, and stickers!
Invitations to birthday celebrations are not to be distributed at school, unless there is one for every child in the class.
STAR STUDENTS
Each child will have a week to be the student of the week (Star Student). The children will have a poster project to complete in advance of the week and the children will share about themselves all week. On Friday, the star student will have the opportunity to bring in a "show and share". This can be anything special from home that they would like to share with the class.
I will send the schedule for the Star Students in late September. Email me if you wish to request a specific week.
