ERD Family Smore, Week of 11-27-23

• Reading and storytelling with babies and children promotes brain development, imagination, language and learning.
• Reading and storytelling strengthens relationships.
• Sometimes you can read. And sometimes you can look at picture books, sing songs or tell stories from your culture.
• Babies and young children often enjoy books, songs and stories with good rhyme, rhythm and repetition.
• Anytime is a good time for a book or story! Try to share at least one book or story each day.

• We do not accept cupcakes or birthday cakes for a class for a student's birthdays. This is for many reasons, including the threat of harm toward students with life-threatening allergies, and the amount of sugar we would be allowing the children to have if every parent sent cupcakes... it could be as many as 25+ times within the 9 month school year. You can, however, send pre-packaged snacks for the students, preferably on the Smart Snacks List (see the link below.) Please refrain from sending any snacks with peanuts.

SMART SNACKS LIST

• Please send a snack for your child every day.
• Make sure your child has a water bottle every day.
• Please have your child at school, on time, every day, unless they are ill. Attendance counts!
• Don't forget about our lost and found bin if your child has lost anything.
