Example of End of the Year Math • Able to count 0-110 • Do simple addition & subtraction independently with objects/pictures • Recognize penny, nickel, dime quarter and how much they are worth. • Skip count by 5s, and 10s • 3D objects: cylinder, cube, cone, etc. • Simple fractions
Clip Chart Your child will begin each day on green, which shows they are ready to learn. Through the day your child may move up to yellow, orange, or red if they have been exhibiting really SUPER behavior. If your child receives a warning for their behavior their clip will drop to blue. If they continue the behavior, it will drop to purple and they will receive a consequence from the teacher. If the behavior still continues, then they will need to move their clip to pink. Then the teacher will make contact with the parent. Please check the behavior calendar every day and talk with your child about their behavior!
Weekly Homework • Sent home in Friday folder • Returned as soon as completed or by Friday morning. • Homework is a review of information we will/have covered in the classroom. • Homework is a great way you can see what your child is learning and what they need to work on.
Birthday/Snack Birthday Snack Healthy snacks No messy snacks such as apple sauce No soda or candy Rule of thumb- if it needs a napkin/spoon it probably is too messy for a classroom daily snack. • Any birthday treat handed out has to be store bought. • 2:30 is typically when we hand out the treats • NO party invitations at school. (Check buzz book for addresses/phone numbers to contact other children in regards to parties)
Other Considerations: • Have an extra change of clothes in a bag at the bottom of backpack. • Last name on backpack, jacket, or lunch boxes. • If your child has any medical needs that concerns you for the year and have not been addressed, please visit the nurse. • Consider tennis shoes for your child at school.
