Note from the Teacher🦊
Motivational Posters 🥰 There is still time to make one!
To motivate our students, we would like to ask a favor from you. And once again, let's keep this a secret! We are asking parents to create a motivational poster for their children. We will post them in the hallways to remind them that we are all in this together and that they have all of us rooting for them. The poster cannot be bigger than 18" X 24". Feel free to write your message using your native language. You may include pictures, your child's favorite theme, etc. We have tons of very creative parents, and I can't wait to see your posters. You have until January 31st to drop them off at the front office. Please include your child's name and teacher so we can deliver.

Parents (PLEASE) purchase a seat storage sack for your child📚
I have been trying to come up with more ways to organize the student's supplies, the seat storage sack will definitely help each of the students stay more organized. The space in their cubbies is very limited, and having some of their supplies on the back of their chairs will stop the back and forth to their cubbies. Please if you are able purchase the following seat sack. It is 12.99 on Amazon. I am sure there are a few students in my class that may not be able to purchase this item, so if anyone is able to donate an extra one that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your support. (click photo for direct link to product)
Birthday Bites 🥳🎂
Recess🏀
We will continue to have indoor recess instead of outdoor recess on days that we have P.E. and the weather is hot! (Monday, Thursday, and Friday)
Reminder for snacks!🍎
Just a reminder snacks are NOT provided. Please send in a daily snack for your child. This is a working snack (should take no more than 5 mins to eat). PLEASE!!!! Do not send in messy snacks for their afternoon working break; no liquid snacks (yogurt or fruit cups); no pizza (lunchables) for snack, the sauce and shredded cheese is just too messy; and please do not send soda! it always explodes!!!
