Can my child bring in a treat for his/her birthday?

Yes. I do celebrate birthdays but I ask that you please give me a few days
notice as to when you will be sending in treats. Please make sure treats are
store bought. There are 21 students in my AM class and 22 students in my PM class.

I am a PEANUT FREE classroom. Please check product labels that food items are not
made with any kind of nuts or produced in a factory containing nuts.

Do you have Show and Tell?

Yes. Your child will be able to bring in items when he/she is "Wildcat of the
Week". I will assign a week for each child to bring in photos or special items
they would like to share with the class. Please make sure items brought to
school are not fragile and can fit inside your child'd backpack. I will send
home a schedule and reminder note letting you know when it's your child's turn
to be "Wildcat of the Week".

What if I need to pick up my child from school?

If your child will be going home a different way, you MUST write me a note
letting me know of this change. Please sign and date the note to prevent any
confusion. Also, you must remember to bring the ORANGE parent pick-up tag with you.
I gave each family 2 orange tags during Welcome Week.

You can: review them as flashcards, play Bingo, play Memory, practice writing

newspaper or magazines and make a collage.
