Welcome To Our Classroom

Dear Parents,
Teaching is my passion, so I am excited and pleased to have the
opportunity to spend this school year with your child. I want to make a
positive educational, as well as, a personal impact on your child's
life. The following information will hopefully answer some of your
questions about our classroom. If you have additional questions or
concerns, please call me at home - (237-3991)
school - (698-8230).
Friday Folders
This year, your child will be bringing home a 'Friday Folder'. This
folder will be sent home each Friday. It will include a
"Fridge Note" (see below), your child's school work for the week, as
well as any other special notes for parents. Please take some time to
view this folder with your child over the weekend and sign your name to
the front of the folder. Your child will need to return the folder each
Monday.
Fridge Note
Included in the 'Friday Folder' will be a weekly "Fridge Note"
for you to keep on your refrigerator. These notes will notify you and
your child of upcoming events, special activities, spelling words, and
skills we are developing.
Classmate
Each week, a child will be chosen to celebrate his or
her special week. A note will be sent home the week before it is your
child's turn. Throughout the week, your child may bring a few items
that are special, such as family pictures, stuffed animals, books by
favorite authors, or something he/she has created, ect. to share with
all of us.
Lunch/Milk Costs
The cost for a student lunch will be $1.70 this year. If your
child brings a cold lunch, or wants an additional milk with hot lunch,
he/she may purchase a milk for $.25.
Book Orders
About every other month, you will receive a book
order form. These book orders offer very reasonable prices for
children's literature. If you would like to order, please send cash or
a check (made out to SCHOLASTIC) in an envelope with your child's name
on the front. If your purchases are for gifts, please let me know and I
will hold them for you at school until you can pick them up.
Holiday Celebrations
We will celebrate three holidays this year:
Fall Festival (October), Christmas, and Valentine's Day. Room parents
will be taking care of arranging the goodies. If
you are interested in helping,
please let me know and I will get your name to our room parent.
Snacks/Water Bottles
Your child is welcome to bring a healthy snack for morning and
afternoon snack break. Suggested items are; pieces of
fruit, yogurt, cereal bars, dry cereal, animal crackers, ect.
While the weather is hot, your child may also bring a bottle of water to school to have at his/her desk.
Respectfully yours,
Lotys Suhr
