Parent Information / We had a great first week! They are a great group of children.They were very attentive when others shared their all about me bags. Their questions improved greatly about the second class graph we made as a class. It was so exciting to see them catching crickets, frogs, and other insects at recess:) They are also excellent singers. Vacuuming at the end of the day is a sought after job too!
*Please remember to record your child’s reading time in the agenda each night. Also, please sign it. They get a Character Token if it is signed.
*I have included a copy of the Dress Code in the Friday Folder because it has changed this year.
*We still have a few needed items on our class wish list; two indoor mats and one outdoor mat. If you are willing to donate one of these items please send me a note or an e-mail.
*If your child rides the bus to the UC or rides an after school van please notify the office, the daycare, and myself if your child will not be riding it a particular day, if you pick up your child early, or if he/she is absent.
