HOMEWORK • Homework encourages organization and responsibility. • Please designate a quiet area for your child to complete their homework. • Help your child get started, making sure they understand the directions, but let them do the homework independently. • When done, please check the homework with your child. Correct any mistakes together. Immediate feedback is powerful and it creates a “teachable moment” for you and your child.

BIRTHDAYS • Due to the high number of food allergies at our school, please do not bring food or candy items as a birthday treat. • Instead, we encourage your child to bring his/her favorite book to school so we can share in a special birthday read-aloud.
