Is There a Dress Code?
Please send your child to school ready to have fun. They will come home dirty. Girls need to refrain from wearing spaghetti straps and need to wear shorts under dresses or skirts. Both boys and girls need to wear closed shoes. Please tie all shoes in double knots. Even though your child may be able to tie their own shoes, they never do it tight enough.
Will my Child Receive Homework?
Your child will receive Math homework, Tuesday-Thursday. This homework is a review of what we learned in school that day. Your child should be able to do it with minimal help.
The most important homework will be reading. I encourage you to listen to your child read, as well as reading to your child. Before, during and after reading, discuss the text. Talk about your favorite parts, a problem the character encountered or something new you learned.
