What are the prcedures for book orders?

I will be sending home book orders from time to time. If you choose to order
books for your leapfrog, you may do so very easily online or by filling out
the form and sending a check made out to the book club. No cash can be
accepted.  Please put the order form and the check in an envelope with your
child's name on it. Sometimes orders from two different companies may be sent
at the same time to offer you a larger selection. Ordering books for your
child is optional, but it is an inexpensive way to buy books. Bonus points
from these orders are used to acquire books for our classroom library. The
orders will be in the Monday folder and will be due on Fridays two weeks after
they are sent home.

What time is lunch?

We have lunch from  everyday. You are welcome to eat lunch in the
cafeteria. If you are buying a lunch please let me know so I can include you
in the lunch count that I send to the cafeteria by 8:00 am.

Is there still snack in second grade?

Yes, we have a morning snack at 9:30 during math. I ask that you
please send a HEALTHY snack to school with your child everyday.  Please avoid
snacks that contain a lot of sugar juices so that we can keep the ants away.
Our class is a NUT-FREE zone! In order to ensure the safety of everyone in out
class, please do not send snacks to school with your child that contain nuts.
Thank you!

Does my child need to bring their homework folder to school everyday?

Yes, this folder is used as a homework log as well as a communication folder.  I will put any notes or last minute handouts in your child's homework folder if there is ever a need.  This is also a place for you to put any notes for me, as I will check it daily.

How long should we spend on homework?

Your leapfrog should spend a minimum of 15 minutes reading each night and 5
minutes on math facts.  Your child is also responsible for two writing prompts
each week.

Can I bring cupcakes or treats for my leapfrog's birthday?

Laurel Mountain has a policy of no sweet treats for birthdays. I make a big
celebration on each student's special day. The students enjoy their day of
celebration and do not miss the cupcakes or sweet treats!
