What can my child bring in for snack?

We will be having snack everyday during the morning.  It is very 
important 
that your child bring in healthy snacks.  I know that it is hard 
to always 
have fruits and veggies available but please keep the sugar 
content low.  
Examples of some healthy snacks are : crackers, cheese, pretzels, 
graham 
crackers fresh fruits and veggies.  I encourage the students to 
always have 
a water bottle available with a pull-up top.

How can I help my 1st grader at home?

The best thing to do is to check their backpack and b.b.t. folder 
for 
homework and notes.  Homework is sent home on Fridays and is due 
back on or 
before the following Friday. Please make sure you are reading to 
your child 
everyday and have them read to you.  They will have a sheet of 
reading 
strategies in their folder that you can use as you read 
together.  They will 
also be bringing home books to read in a colored book bag during 
the week. Make 
sure you ask your child every day what they did in school.
