Remember that your child may bring a healthy snack each day and is encouraged to bring a reusable spill-proof water bottle daily.
Our classroom can sometimes get pretty cold, so your child may choose to bring a small blanket to keep in our room. You may want to send them with a jacket/hoodie (MAC or solid navy) each day as well.
Please make sure you have labeled your child's name on all of their personal items including backpacks, jackets, blankets, water bottles and lunch boxes.
Don't forget to have your child read at least 20 minutes every day!
