Welcome to Our Class
Hello Families,
Welcome to our classroom community. We are so excited to share our learning with you.
Please reply to this post, so I know you’ve seen it. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Ms. Zheng
Some notes about our class:
- Start Time: School starts at 8:48AM. The first bell rings at 8:43AM. Please wait with your child at my OUTSIDE door, not in the hallway. I usually close the door at 9:00AM, and I will have likely already posted my attendance, and you will be marked absent. Please go to the office if you arrive past 9:00AM. Thank you!
- Pick-up times: Each day, home time is 3:00PM. On Wednesdays, home time is at 2:00PM. I usually wait about 5 minutes before I send your child to the office to be picked up.
- Library: we have our library book exchange every week on Wednesday mornings! Please return your books every Monday if possible!
- We encourage independence and develop self-help skills in school. Children can learn so much from doing things themselves. When they practice self-help skills, they practice their gross and fine motor skills, gain confidence in their ability to try new things and build self-esteem and pride in what they can accomplish.
- Inside shoes and extra clothes: please bring a pair of inside shoes to change into for rainy and snowy days. If your child has shoes with laces, it would be best to have them know how to tie their shoelaces. Velcro shoes/no-shoelaces shoes are preferred. It can cause longer wait times when we are teaching and students are constantly asking for their shoes to be tied. Please bring your child extra clothes the next day if they change and bring dirty clothes home.
- Please remember to bring a water bottle to school as children often need a drink of water throughout the day. It’s always good to keep them hydrated!
- Snack Time and Hot Lunch: We are encouraging students to eat healthy snacks first such as fruits and vegetables, so they have the energy to learn throughout the day. You can also pack other foods if you know your child will not like the Hot Lunch of the day (if they are in the Hot Lunch Program)
- Check the school website or newsletters for important dates and I will update the blog.
