Remember sneakers on
Tuesday for PE and Library books on Wednesdays!
Your child will have time for a snack time sometime
around 10:30. Please note that we are a nut-free classroom, so please do not send in
any snacks containing nuts (lunches do not need to be nut-free). Please
send in a small, healthy snack each day. Additionally, students may keep water on their desk. Lunch is each day at 12:35, and Recess is
from 12:55-1:25.
Classroom Supplies
The students were given all the school supplies
that they will need for this year. Please do not have your child bring in any
additional personal school supplies, as all supplies will be shared among the
class. However, if you are interested in
donating supplies for the classroom, we can always use 3-ring binder sheet protectors, tissues, Lysol wipes, dry erase markers,
hand sanitizer, colored pencils, markers, and prize box items. Thanks!
Homework Folders/Agenda
Each student will have a sturdy, two pocket maroon
homework folder. Students should keep
all notices and homework assignments in this folder. The agenda is used to write daily homework
assignments. Please sign/initial the
agenda after you have checked in with your child regarding the homework. Getting
your signature is part of your child’s nightly assignment. You may also jot notes for us in the
agenda. This is a great support system
and communication tool between school and home.
Homework Policy
Homework should be done independently, with
minimal support from others at home. If
at any time homework becomes a problem, please let us know immediately. Homework should take about 30 minutes each
night plus at least 20 minutes of reading time.
Homework will vary from week to week and night to night but a typical
night may be:
·
Read
for a minimum of 20 minutes. This is not written down each night but is
expected, even on weekend and vacation nights!
·
Math:
Complete a math assignment and/or math review worksheet.
·
Writer’s
Notebook: responding to a prompt (about 1 page length, building to 1-2 pages by
the end of the year), OR math extended response question that requires a
written response.
Sincerely,
Mr. Hauptmann
Ms. O’Brien
