Snacks
We have a 10-minute snack time every day after our first recess. This snack is meant to be a healthy, small portion of shelf-stable food to keep your child energized for learning—not a treat or dessert. If you choose to send a snack, please package it separately from their lunch in a small container that can easily fit on top of their pencil box. To make things easier for your child, please avoid snacks that need refrigeration, require utensils, or come in packaging that might be difficult for them to open on their own.
Birthdays
In our class, we love celebrating birthdays in special ways! We celebrate on the closest school day to your child’s birthday (or half-birthday for summer birthdays). If parents choose to send in a treat, please make sure it’s an individually portioned, two-bite snack, along with napkins. Your child will get to create and wear a birthday crown, enjoy a special birthday book made by their peers, and sit with a birthday stuffie. They’ll also have the chance to have lunch with me and a friend of their choice. It’s a fun and memorable way to make their day extra special!
Star of Week
When your child is the Star of the Week, they get to shine in some special ways! They’ll complete an “All About Me” poster to share with the class, which will be proudly displayed in our room all week. They’ll also enjoy sitting in the comfy bean bag chair throughout the week. On Wednesday, they’ll lead us in prayer during Mass, and on Friday, they’ll have the honor of sitting with Waddles, our class mascot. To top it all off, they’ll bring Waddles home for the weekend to continue the fun and make some special memories!
