Snack Time

In 1st grade, we do not have an official “snack time”, but I do allow students to have a snack if they bring one or have leftovers from their lunchbox at the end of the day.

Family Photo

I would love to have every student bring a small family photo to display in our classroom.  This will help your kiddo feel more at home, and I know they will be super excited to show off their family.
