Classroom News and Reminders
I cannot believe that there are only 28 days of school left this year! I am already getting sad. I absolutely love my class and I am just not ready to let them go to 4th grade. Despite masks and social distancing, we have had a great year. Thank you for sharing your awesome kiddos with me and thank you for your unwavering support.
Mark Your Calendars-This is a busy time of year! I have listed several important dates above. Please try to not to schedule appointments on these dates. I will update the calendar weekly.
Classroom Needs-We are in desperate need of Clorox wipes. We use them daily to clean our desks after lunch.
Snack- Please make sure that your child brings a small snack (just one) and water bottle to school each day.
Chromebooks- Please continue to charge Chromebooks each night. Chromebooks will be turned in on April 28th. Please make sure that your child brings his/her charger, case and Chromebook to school on that day.
Dojo , Planners and Smore- Please check Class Dojo and your child's planner each day.Thank you to those that are already doing this. I will update the Smore every Sunday and will post the updated link on Dojo. (You will know it is updated when I post the link.)
Staying Safe- Please be sure that your child wears a clean mask to school each day.
Reading Homework- Your child should be reading for a total of 30 minutes each night. Please log the book that your child reads in his/her assignment book.
Your child is welcome to log in to Literacy Footprints each day to find a "good fit" book to read for 30 minutes. Every student has been shown how to access this program and find books that are on his/her level.

Have questions for the school nurse?
COVID - Please be overly cautious when considering when to send your child to school. It is VERY important that we all follow the guidelines when it comes to quarantining. If you have been around someone that is sick or has tested positive, please reach out to the school nurse to get information about what you need to do. Read over the attestation form each day to make sure that your child is healthy and able to come to school. Masks should be worn to school each day and washed in between uses.
Our school nurse Kimberly Sluder is here to help you navigate this challenging year. You can find her at school at 336-838-4261 or on ClassDojo. You can also reach her by email -- Nurse Sluder at sluderk@wilkes.k12.nc.us
