Snack: The class does have a set time during the afternoon to have a "working snack". A "working snack" is a time where students can continue working on whatever classwork they are completing as they have their snacks. Snacks should include a healthy treat such as a piece of fruit, carrots, pretzels, etc. Students are always welcomed to have a bottle of water on their desks throughout the day. Please save all juice boxes and other drinks for lunch when students are eating in the lunch room and not in the classroom.

Birthdays: We love celebrating special events like birthdays together in class. If a student would like to bring in a special healthy snack to share with the rest of the class, they may celebrate during the afternoon snack time.

Homework: Homework will be assigned mostly every night. Homework is an extremely important part of reinforcing what is being learned in the classroom. In our classroom, effort is highly considered in homework grades. A student's overall average will be affected if it is not completed and turned in on time. Students will receive a check for turning in homework on time and completed. A check minus will be given if homework is turned in late or not completed as expected. A zero will be given if homework is not turned in.
