reading centers and more!

What will my child's homework load look like?

I will give homework in math, reading, and spelling each night. 
Typically, I do not give homework on the weekends unless they are 
working on a project or if they did not complete their work 
during the week.

How much time should I spend on homework with my child?

This depends on each child. On the average your child should 
complete it in 20-30 minutes.

I want to plan a birthday party for my child. Can I send invitations?

It is a school rule that invitations can only be distributed to the entire class.

Can I send cupcakes or cake to school for my child's birthday?

Yes! Please let me know a day in advance via email or a note in 
your child's agenda. We will usually wait until the end of the 
day to celebrate because we have a very busy day. Please send 
napkins or plastic silverware if need be. I would also prefer you 
eliminate food items containing peanuts or peanut butter. Some 
students may have food allergies.

Do we have a snack break?

Not usually. If we are celebrating a birthday it's usually in the 
afternoon.
