Bits of Information
**Homework – A lot of the kids are turning their homework in early. Homework is not due until Wednesday of every week. I would encourage you to do only one section of the homework a day. They work so hard at school and we do not want to push them too much. They are loving school and your support at home is helping them in so many ways!
Do you have extra toys that your child doesn't play with very much? If you have any toys that you are thinking of getting rid of, please consider donating them to the classroom. As you know we have a lot of indoor recess days during the winter due to the cold weather and the kiddos are always looking for a variety of things to play with. If you have any gently used toys like legos, cars, games, puzzels, books, or dolls we could use them. Thanks for all of your support and willingness to help out!
Spring Pictures- Please note on your calendar that our Spring Picture Day will be on Tuesday, March 1st. We will take classroom group pictures and full-length individual pictures. Details and forms will be sent home in February.
Warm Clothes- Although we are now in the winter season, we will still go out to recess as much as the weather permits us. Please dress your child in a coat, gloves, and hat every day. Also, please continue to practice zipping coats and tying shoes with your child at home. This independent skill an important one for them to learn before first grade.
Practice your child’s 4 digit lunch number a home so they will be able to punch it in when they go through the lunch line.
