Thank you to all who sent food and paper items for our Thanksgiving feast. It
was wonderful! Everyone had plenty and enjoyed every bite. You are an amazing
group of parents; you always pitch in whenever/wherever needed. Thank you for
all you are doing to make this such a fabulous year for these children and me.
We will continue collecting food and toiletry items for our Christmas basket
until December 15th. Thank you to all who have already sent items and to
those are sending them after Thanksgiving holidays. I know these things will
go to a worthy family.
The students made darling turkey napkin rings as a service project. These
gifts went to the local nursing home. The residents were thrilled to have
them and to know these precious children were thinking of others during this
giving season.
They are the BEST!
Congratulation to Bridger Yowarsky! Bridger was selected as
our "Perserverance" character trait representative for the month of November.
Bridger does not give up. She keeps working on a skill until she "gets it."
She is very deserving of the award, as are all the children in this class.
Everyone keeps trying. We do not have anyone who has given up on anything.
This is a great class; everyone deserves an award, but we can choose only
one each month. Thank you for sending me such wonderful children every single
day.
Everyone needs to be here each day around 8:00. A student is considered late
if he/she is not in his/her seat by 8:15.
Student meals each day this year are as follows:
Breakfast $1.25
Lunch $2.00
Juice/Milk $.50
Adult Meals each day this year are as follows:
Breakfast $2.00
Lunch $3.75
Holiday Meals $5.00
Sneakers are required for gym everyday. Sneakers are also best for recess.
(No flip-flops, please)
Fridays are ICE CREAM days! If you want your child to be able to purchase ice
cream in the cafeteria, please be sure he/she has money in his/her account or
pocket. Ice cream is $.50 each. This is a great incentive for making good
choices throughout the week.
Your child will be bringing home a paperback reader every night to share with
you. Please have him/her read it to you several times. Your child should be
able to return to school each day with the book, ready to read it
confidently, fluently, and with inflection. Perfect practice at home will
help accomplish this goal. (I say 'Perfect practice' because practicing it
correctly is different from just practicing.) Please help and encourage good
reading, not just word calling. The more time you invest in your child's
education at home, the better he/she will feel about his/her day at school.
Remember to sign the "Log" each night; it will indicate to me that you have
listened to/helped your child with the book.
Anytime you see that your child is struggling with schoolwork, please provide
a little extra help at home. It will let him/her know you are aware of the
struggle and that you want to be helpful. Don't let little problems become
big ones. Remember: Each day is the foundation for the next. Thank you
so much for your cooperation and support.
