Reading Please read with your child for at least 10 minutes each night. Reading together will instill a love of reading in your child. Reading daily should become a good habit.
Thursday Folders Folders will be sent home every Thursday. In them you will find any handouts or important information sent from myself or the school. Finished work will also be sent home in Thursday folders. Please be looking for this every Thursday. ** Water Bottle and Snack Please send a water bottle with a SPORT spout each day with your child. The sport spout helps alleviate any unnecessary spills within the classroom. We will have snack time every day around 9:35. Children may bring healthy snacks that require little clean up. Please avoid sending snacks that require a utensil or large amounts of juice that may spill.
Birthday Celebrations At DSES, we are allowed to celebrate birthdays in the classroom with treats. Treats may be brought in by the child in the morning or left at the office where I will pick them up at my conference time. Please make sure the treats are individual in size because I will not be able to cut and serve treats on plates. We will eat treats at the end of the day close to dismissal time. If your child has an allergy you may bring in your own treats and keep them in nurse Marfin's office. When we have a birthday in the class I will send your child down to get their treat.
Lunch You are welcomed to eat lunch with your child. Please do not share food with other students at the table as children may have food allergies you are unaware of and inadvertently cause a reaction. Our lunch time is from 12:15-12:45. If you would like to follow us out to recess please stop by the office to get a new visitor's badge that says you can be out on the playground with us.
Recess We will go out to recess if the weather is below 100 degrees and above 35 degrees. Please make every effort for your child to dress properly for the day. Closed toe shoes are encouraged as they will be safer to run around in.
Classroom Twitter Site Our class will be utilizing a classroom Twitter Site. Posts on the site will be made by me, and I will post pictures of projects we are working on and any fun things that are happening in the classroom. The name of our site is @FullerClass1 Some other hashtags associate with our school are #iamdses #iamdsisd #inspiredse
Tiger Tracks Each classroom at DSES will be using Tiger Tracks to track student behavior. Please review your child’s Tiger Tracks every day to discuss school behavior. Whatever color they end up on at the end of the day will be the color drawn in their tiger tracks. If they happen to move their clips down to yellow or red we will write a little note that describes the reason.
Book Orders Each month I will be sending home a scholastic book order in Thursday folders. You can send in an order form and check, or you can order online at the scholastic website using our class code. NBM63 Please do not send in any cash. The due date will be sent on Fridays in our weekly email.
