When is my child's journal due?
At the beginning of the year, you received a notebook for you to keep track of your child's progress and to communicate with the teachers. Journals should be written in every day or as often as possible, and they are due Friday.
Why does my child come home with unfinished work?
During class, the children are given work to complete. What your child doesn't complete during that time, is sent home to be finished. This is a great way of continuing learning at home!
How do I get the Raising A Reader bookbags?
The Raising A Reader bookbags are located near the front door. They are red and hang on a metal rack. To take a bookbag home, select any one from the rack. On the table next to the booklets is a check-out/check-in sheet. Go to your child's name, and put a slash on the number that corresponds to the number on the bookbag. The bookbags are available on Mondays and must be returned on Fridays. To return, find your child's name and bookbag number on the sheet and put another slash on it (making an X). Then, choose another one!
How can I tell the difference between library books, Room 1 books and Raising A Reader books?
Raising A Reader books have a sticker on the cover of them that reads, Raising A Reader. Books from the library are marked with the library stamp on the inside cover. They also have a number and/or letter on the binding. Books from Room 1 just have a pocket on the inside cover. All may/should be returned on Fridays.
When are journals due?
Journals are due Friday and will be returned to you on Monday.
When are books from Room 1 due?
Books checked out from Room 1 can be checked out and return as often as you'd like, but should be returned at least weekly.

Birthdays are celebrated once at the end of each month. If you'd like to bring in a special treat for the class to enjoy, please notify one of the teachers at least one day prior.
When are library books due?
