We had a productive first couple of days! The kids learned many new class routines and are settling into Room 17. We made class bracelets to show how we are a class family and that we are a team working together to learn and grow. We labelled their supplies and learned how to turn in completed work. We are off to a fantastic start!
A few points:
- ClassDojo does have a paid subscription. However, you do NOT need to pay to use it. You can access your child's reports and notes, along with the Class Story and my messages, for FREE.
- The kids can bring a jacket/sweatshirt to keep in their backpack and use in the classroom. It does get a little chilly in here at times.
- Please make sure your child knows if they have money on their school lunch account for meals/snacks. I cannot access that information.
- Parents can come to lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting September 2nd for grades 1-5! Kindergarten will start in October.
- Every day, your child should be bringing their Chromebook, green Home/Puma folder, and agenda to school. They will bring these items home every day as well.
- Please be sure to check and empty their folder each day. There are two sides - "Return to School" on the left and "Keep at Home" on the right. Most items will be Keep at Home and the kids should know if you ask. 😊
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me or message me on ClassDojo! Thank you!
