Greetings Families,

As the end of the year approaches, we have many activities and events to look forward to.

Below I have two different sign-ups for donations: (Can be found on Parent Square)

By April 21 Please donate these items for several special days over the final several weeks of school.

By May 16 Please donate these items for our classroom End of the Year "Let's Glow Crazy" Awards, Video, and Dance Party.

Thank you for considering to donate items to help in making the end of their first grade year fun and memorable.

Thanks,
Jon

We have done a great job collecting cereal boxes for the first 3 weeks of The Great Grizzly Cereal Challenge. This challenge will take place throughout quarter 4. Although, we still need boxes. We are halfway to our goal of 1,300. All this in mind, we still need your help collecting cereal boxes. We are collecting boxes from now until April 25th. Let’s keep going grizzlies!

Requirements for boxes:

The Homework Menu is sent home each Monday, and it is due by Friday (signed) each week. Each week your child will select and complete eight activities on the menu. The menu is the same for the entire month so a bit of encouragement may be needed to pick different activities. It is ok to place an X or your initials on the activities chosen to keep track of what they have done. Please sign the menu at the bottom. If a child completes his/her homework and returns the menu, then they will be entered into the Homework Lottery to earn Dojo Points. You may keep the practice at home or return it to school. The homework isn't graded it is for the practice and family interaction. Periodically students will have spelling words to practice. Remember you can complete the book borrowing sheet and your child will bring home some books at their reading level. The books can be returned at anytime during the week or on Fridays.

Due to the earlier lunch at 10:30, we will have an optional snack time about 1:10, after special class each day. Students are encouraged to bring ONE healthy snack (i.e., carrots, grapes, banana, apple, granola, cereal, chips, cracker, etc.) Students should NOT bring in candy or any drinks, except water. Snacks will not be provided or shared between students.

Students are allowed Birthday treats. If you are interested in sending in Birthday treats, please be sure to email, text, or send a message on Parent Square. Please note that all Birthday treats must be store bought and individually wrapped. Food Birthday treats need to be brought to school to share during our lunch time (10:30-11:00). If a student is Bringing non-food Birthday treats then they can be dropped off at the office or sent to school with the student. These will be distributed during the closing community circle. All students will receive a Birthday treat, and the class will sing Happy Birthday to them if they want them to.
