Due to Covid we are unfortunately limited to what we can do this year.  That said, here is what we can and will be doing.

-  You will recieve,  in your child's folder, a sheet telling you what day we plan to
    celebrate your child's birthday.
-   Please confirm, in writing, that you have recieved the note and let me know
     what, if anything, you will be sending in with your child that day.
-   You are allowed to send in cupcakes, donuts or any other special treat that
     your child likes.
      -  Anything you send must be individually wrapped
     -  I will put up the date and what items are being sent in on the class page.
     -  If your child has allergies, I will try my best to speak to you or email you
        before the date so that you can let me know if it is something your child
        can have.  If they cannot, I will explain that you can send in a special item
        that date for your child.  
      - PLEASE NOTE - if I am unsure if a child can have a treat that has been
        sent in, the treats will be sent home and all children, except for the bday
        child, will have their normal snack.
      - ALSO, if there wasn't enough time for the parent of a child with allergies
        to send in a special item for their child, all sent in special snacks will
        again be sent home, except for the bday child.  I don't want any student
        to feel badly.
 

Beginning in February we will be starting to send home a bag and directions to one child, per class, each week.  

The directions are as follows:
-  Fill the bag with 4 things that your child can use to tell the class about themself. (only 4 things,       no more, no less)
-  All of the objects have to fit in the bag
-  You may decorate the bag if you wish....any way you like.
-  Bring back the bag .............(you'll be given the day) and be ready to share with the class

Your child will get to show the entire class all of their items and tell us why they brought them and why they like them.  Some of the items children have brought in the past are:
             -     Pictures of their family, family pet, etc
             -     Their favorite toy
             -     Something that shows their favorite color
             -     Their favorite stuffed animal

Every child will get a chance, I will randomly choose names to keep it fair.

I cannot wait to learn all about your children.

On special days where your children dress up please make sure that they can still go to the bathroom and that any costume does not hinder their ability to walk without tripping.  Thank you.
