Valentine exchange

Just giving you a head start to the card exchange. They now have Valentine cards out at the stores. They take them off the shelves early, so don't wait until a week before. Their are SUPER CUTE ones at the Dollar Tree. Please write your child's name in the FROM: section. Don't worry about the TO: section.

Extra pair of clothes with the changing weather

Please make sure your child has an extra pair of clothes (pants, since it is getting cooler) in their backpack for emergencies. Sometimes we don't make it down to the bathroom in time or we spill our lunch on ourselves. Having an extra pair of shorts/pants and underwear in a baggie will keep us from having to call you in the middle of class. We can just change and clean up and get back to learning.

Birthday Treats

We would love to honor your child on their special day (the closest Friday)! We know it means so much to them to share it with their friends. Any food treats need to be "store bought". The mini-sized cupcakes are great! Please contact your child's teacher so you can find out how many students are in the class.

Reading every day/night

Reading each day/night to your child is so important. Click on the picture to see just how it will help your child and their success in learning. Bonus: It is great one on one quality time with your child.
