Shoes and Jackets!
- Please work with your child so they are learning to tie their own shoes! This helps the teacher and the student.
- If your child cannot tie their own shoes, double tie your child's shoes or please send them with shoes that do not have laces!
- Please practice putting on AND zipping up your child's jacket so that they can put it on independently for brain break and recess.

Snacks:
Please send your child with ONE snack daily. It is best if the snack is NOT packed in their lunch box. Many will eat their snack with their lunch and then not have one for snack time. Our snack time is in the afternoon after specials. Please send one healthy, individually wrapped snack that doesn’t require a spoon, with your child each day. No drinks or messy snacks (i.e. yogurt, fruit cups, etc). Absolutely no nut snacks, (peanut butter, peanuts, almonds, cashews, etc.)
