Fox and Bear Learning Community

August 19, 2022

The children have been brainstorming classroom expectations and creating jobs for themselves in the classroom environment.  It's lovely to see the children taking ownership of the classroom. This coming week we will be completing i-ready testing on Wednesday and Friday.  Please make sure that your child gets plenty of rest the night before testing day and a big healthy breakfast on the morning of testing days.

PTA

Please join us for our first meeting on Thursday, August 25.  You can be involved as little or as much as you'd like but we encourage your attendance at the monthly meetings.  The Ellis class with the most parent memberships will receive an ice cream party to celebrate!  Please join PTA!

Reminders

When emailing your child's teachers please be sure to send emails to both: kirsten.leske@sccpss and jessica.fry@sccpss.com We are co-teaching and this helps us to stay abreast of all information regarding the students.

The classrooms can be chilly at times.  It is wise for children to keep a sweater/light jacket in their cubbies for occasional use.  DRESS CODE: Solid colored sweaters, vests or sweatshirts may be worn over uniform shirts. Hooded sweatshirts are not allowed at any time.

Please send in a water bottle labeled with your child's name for them to keep at school throughout the week for when they get thirsty.  The weather is HOT and the children become extremely thirsty at recess and throughout the day.  Drinking fountains are currently not is use and we have very few cups to loan out.

Snack has been running smoothly!  We are asking the children to save any other snacks until after school.  Each day we will continue to provide a healthy snack for the children and we are encouraging them to try new foods as well!
