Classroom Procedures
Birthday parties- Birthday celebrations are welcome; I ask that you please try to notify me in advance so that I can select the best time for the celebration in our classroom in order to make it special for your child. All treats must be store bought, and cannot be home made due to district policy.
Snack- Our designated snack time will be 11am every day. Please pack a healthy snack for your child!
Book Orders- Scholastic Book orders are a great way to purchase books for your child at a very reasonable price. There are books starting at $1. Each month a book order will be sent home with a due date if your family chooses to purchase a book. You can order anytime online as well using our classroom order code: L9KRF
Water bottles- I encourage students to bring a water bottle and keep it on their desks; I suggest getting a reusable water bottle that way your child can refill it throughout the day, but they can do the same with a disposable water bottle. If the water bottle becomes a distraction; students will lose the privilege. Please send your child to school with the water bottle filled each day (in order to eliminate distractions), also your child will be asked to take it home to clean it each night.
Homework/Agendas- The school district will provide assignment agendas and a red folder for each child. Every night (whether there is homework or not) the agenda needs to be signed by a parent/guardian or whomever is supervising the child while they complete their homework. Please encourage your child to complete all assignments; typically we will have homework on a daily basis depending on the material we cover in class. In each child’s green folder will be a pocket for “keep home” and another for “homework/return to school”.
Specials- Each month I will send home a calendar with special schedule for that month on it. The 3rd grade supply list asks that you have your child bring in an old shirt (or something that doesn’t matter in case of getting anything on it) for an art smock, students can keep these in school. Also, on days that we have Physical Education students will need sneakers (if not worn, to change into).
Classroom Website- Our classroom website is located off of the Elm Street webpage. I post announcements, updates, copies of forms that I have sent home (incase it gets lost, you can just print it!) and there is a link for you to contact me. My goal for the school year is for it to be an important link of communication between parents and myself, as well as a place that we will be able to display some of the great work your child does.
Absences/Leaving Early- If your child is absent; please send in an excuse. If your child will be leaving early please send in a note. All missed work will be gathered, but your child will be responsible for making up the work.
