Classroom Routines
Travel Folder
Each student will be given a travel folder to use for the year. This is a great place to put important notes, notices, homework, etc. because the folders will not eat paper like backpacks do. It is important to check and empty the folder each night and return it to school every day.
Homework
-
minimum of 20 minutes of reading for pleasure or reading to learn something
-
5-10 minutes of math practice of your choice (see checklist)
-
occasionally a word study activity or long-term project will be assigned
-
FAMILY/FUN TIME
Weekly Assignment Sheet
A new checklist will be given out weekly and will give students more flexibility in choosing what they want or need to work on each night. While everyone will be required to do reading and some math, what they do each night will differ from child to child based on interest and personal schedules.
Snack
Students are allowed to have one small working snack/drink at the time of their choice up until lunch. Water bottles are also strongly encouraged!
Hot Lunch/Milk
Students can order school lunch free of charge again this year!
Birthdays
Our school follows a healthy celebrations policy. Please do not send in any food items for birthdays...this doesn't mean we won't celebrate by rocking out! Also, unless giving an invitation to the whole class or all of the boys/girls, please hand out birthday invitations outside of school.
