How are birthdays celebrated in the classroom?

On the day of your child's birthday, he/she will have the birthday bear at 
his/her desk for the day.  Your child may bring something to share with the class (pencils, stickers, 
,small toys). 
  If your child's birthday falls on Saturday or Sunday, we will celebrate 
his/her birthday on Friday or Monday.

What if I am a volunteer and I can't make it?

If you are unable to come in on your scheduled volunteer day, please try to 
switch with someone for another day.  If you cannot get anyone to cover, 
please call and leave me a voicemail.  Thanks.

How do I order books from a book order?

You may either order online, using a debit or credit card, or you may fill 
out your paper order and send it to school with a check made out to 
Scholastic, by the order deadline.

How do we celebrate summer birthdays?

At the end of May, I will contact you about planning a date to celebrate 
your child's birthday.  Depending on the number of students with summer 
birthdays, we will usually celebrate them in June.

How do we purchase lunch tickets?

If your child is planning on purchasing lunch tickets, please send the money 
in on Monday morning.  Make sure the money is in an envelope with both your 
child's name and my name on it.

How can parents help in the classroom?

There will be many opportunities throughout the year.  I will need daily 
center volunteers and reading volunteers.  If you can't commit to a weekly 
schedule, there will be many opportunities throughout the year to help with 
parties, class projects and field trips.
