2. Reminders ▪ Book in a Bag ▪ Signing Planners ▪ Snacks ▪ Water Bottles ▪ Sleep Regimen & Breakfast ▪ Needed Items

3. Book in a Bag ▪ Students will have 4 books (unless it is a short week) in his/her book in a bag. Please keep them in the bag all week. ▪ We recommend students read 1 book 3 times ▪ Read the book to them ▪ Read the book with them ▪ Then have them read it to someone else ▪ Use the green sheet inside his/her book in a bag to help your child. If you don’t have one ask me for a copy. ▪ This should be an enjoyable time together!

4. Planners ▪ Please sign or initial the planner daily. ▪ We recognize this as you have seen the behavior for the day and have done book in a bag/homework. ▪ Please help your child remember to pack the binder nightly. ▪ All notes and lunch money should be in the front pocket of the binder.

5. Snacks ▪ Snack time is in the morning. We eat lunch at 12:00. ▪ Each child is responsible for providing his/her own snack everyday. We do NOT allow juice because when it spills it is sticky. We all have water fountains in our classrooms. ▪ Please help your child to pack a nutritious snack. ▪ We respectfully request snacks to be easy to open and do not require a spoon. We are usually teaching and the students are usually working while enjoying their snack. ▪ Some healthy suggestions are grapes, pretzels, carrot sticks, granola bars, bananas, and crackers.

6. Water Bottles Students are allowed to bring a water bottle only for P.E. We do not use the water bottles in the classroom since we do have fountains in every room.

7. Sleep Regimen & Breakfast Did you know brains grow while sleeping? Please allow for your child to receive the recommended 9-10 hours of sleep a night. Kindergarten does not have nap time during the school day. Please allow for your child to eat breakfast at home or at school. It’s difficult to focus when your belly is empty, and if children don’t bring a snack it’s a long time to lunch at 12:00.

8. Needed Items 2 gallon size plastic bags 1 gallon size plastic bags Quart size plastic bags Paper plates
