sheets everyday! It is important you check behavior

everyday! Also remember math homework everyday.

The yellow daily assignment sheet comes home

everyday. It will have your child’s behavior on it

daily. Children get stars that they earn toward rewards when the yellow daily assignment

sheets are signed by parents everyday.

The yellow daily assignment sheet comes home on

Fridays with all work missing for the week, marked on the sheet or a certificate if all the

work is done, Work that is missing is due on Monday.

Behavior is marked with faces:

Homework

Homework is goes home on Monday and comes back on

Friday. It is normal for frustration to occur when

learning new responsibilities. Just be firm but always positive

and encouraging. The less homework they have at night.

We have a small snacks almost everyday. The children can choose to eat the snack the

teachers provide or say “No Thank You”. A parent is always welcome to send snack for their child daily if

they have special dietary restrictions or allergies. After the

2nd week of school we would appreciate parents contributing snack for our classroom, as the school does not provide snacks

but it helps the children concentrate. If your child needs a special diet of has allergies you are welcome to supply individual

snack for your child daily.

BUS POLICYThe school bus policy is that, if

a child is to be kept off the school bus, the office must be notified by the parent and the parent must pick up their child before the bus leaves for the

day. The office number is414-393-2700. The office must be notified before the child is kept off the bus. The teacher is notified after the office has

been informed.

story and are now working on the second story. Our theme is “Being Me” Each

theme comes with six stories. We will start the first story, “My Pal” that

says we need to be happy with who we are.

Please ask your child what happen in the story each

Classroom Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians

This envelope contains books that belong to our classroom lending library. Our classroom library contains leveled books numbered 1,2,3,4. In the first month of the school year we will try to determine the right level for your child. Your child should be reading at least 20 minutes every day. Every time this book is returned in the envelope, with a parent signature, it will be returned with another book. These books apply to all the book incentive programs Parkview does during the year. If there is no parent signature the same book will be returned. The school does not supply the classroom with books so we are asking that you help maintain the books to the best of your ability and always keep them in their plastic pouches when not in use.

If your child cannot read out loud to you, have them read out loud to a sibling, a stuffed animal, a pet, or read out loud to you while you are doing house chores like washing the dishes, or doing laundry. Ask questions about the books your child reads. Characters, setting, what happened, what the problem was, how the problem was solved, etc. Always have your child try to sound out a word they do not know before telling them the word.

Cakes and Cupcakes are fine as long as the cake is precut. Special things are also welcome as pencils, erasers, etc.

A sufficient number of treats or presents must be sent for all the students. If there is not sufficient quantity, the treat will come back home.

Only prepackaged juices are acceptable.

If the treat cannot come with the child, just go to the office and they will check you in to bring the treat to the room.

No parties are allowed, as we do not have time. No videotaping, no balloons, no telegrams, Parties are for home outside of school time.

Invitations for parties should be done outside of school.

No siblings can be present for the birthday treats at school and we will not be going to siblings rooms to share treats. It is not fair to the teachers or children in the other rooms.
