    HOMEWORK
    Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday.
    Homework is written daily by the student into their "C" book.
    Please use this "C" Communication Book to write notes to me as well.
    I review the books daily and sign them when completed correctly.  
    Please contact me immediately if your child is experiencing difficulty

                                                          and becoming frustrated while completing homework.

     

     
    SNACKS
    Each morning the children have their snack time.
    Simple and healthy snacks are encouraged.
    Please pack snack separately from their lunch.
     
     
    Parent/Guardian Notes
    A note is required for the following situations:
    after your child has been absent from school.
    if your child will be leaving school early.
    if your child will be leaving for lunch.
     
    Birthdays
    Birthdays may be celebrated in school.
    You may drop off appropriate snacks within guidelines in the morning.
    The children will celebrate with their classmates.
    They will not be permitted to visit other classrooms due to food allergies.

    This is an excellent way to begin a home library for your child.

    TWO SCULPTORS
    (Mrs. Appelblatt's favorite poem)
     
    I dreamed I stood in a studio
    And watched two sculptors there,
    The clay they used was a child's mind
    And they fashioned it with care.
     
    One was a teacher; the tools she used
    Were patience, books, music and art.
    One, a parent who worked with a guiding hand
    And a gentle, loving heart.
     
    Day after day the teacher toiled
    With touch that was deft and sure.
    While the parent labored by her side
    And polished and smoothed it o'er.
     
    And when at last their task was done,
    They were proud of what they had wrought;
    For the things they had molded into the child
    Could neither be sold or bought.
     
    And each agreed he would have failed
    If he had worked alone.
    The parent and the school.
    The teacher and the home.
