Birthdays: You may send in party invitations only if you are inviting the whole class. Birthdays will not be celebrated in school with food, however, you may send in a small token item such as pencils, erasers, or stickers. You may also choose to donate a book to the classroom library instead or send in a book to be read aloud that day. In addition, if you would like, you can send in a book that the children and I can sign for your child to have as a keepsake from 1st grade!
- Take Home Folders: Take Home folders will be sent home on the 1st day of school and will come home Monday-Friday. Students are instructed to take their papers and put them into their folder at the end of the day. Please check the folders nightly for important notes, student work, and homework and empty the folder before returning it to school each day.
