- Book It March Calendar: Due Thursday, April 5th
Our classroom is in need of glue sticks, Kleenex, and band-aids . Thank you for considering donating to our classroom. :)
If your child is participating in the Book It Program, please have them color the animal symbols for each day they read on their March calendar. They need to read for 20 minutes at least 20 days this month. At the end of the month, please sign this and have your child sign it. Then, I will log on and reward the pizza coupon. Thank you for your participation. March calendars are due by April 5th.
Please make sure your child brings a coat, gloves, and hat as the temperatures are changing. We will continue having recess outside if it is above 10 degrees for “feels like” temp. Our first recess is at 10:35 a.m. It is typically colder at that recess. If it is 32 degrees or below and your child does not have a coat they will need to borrow one from the office. If there isn’t a coat available they will need to spend recess inside so please be aware and double-check your child has their coat.
Just a reminder that students are allowed to bring a water bottle filled with water only to keep in the classroom during the day. Your child can bring one nut free healthy snack to have every day in the morning.
