Today in LA, we made trading cards with information about ourselves. We read about Frog and Toad, from author Arnold Lobel. We looked at the suggestions of good fiction books from our classmates and had some time to read. We talked about responsibilities of students and teachers. In Math, we practiced skip counting, we reviewed some math from Grade 2, we made a tally chart and a picture graph, and worked on estimating.
Reminders: For Friday art, we will use chalk pastels. You may want an art shirt that can get dirty. It would be helpful to bring some newspaper or flyers to cover your desk. Remember, tomorrow is early dismissal. Friday dismissal is 11:20 AM.
Notice from the office: At Evergreen School, we encourage healthy eating habits. Food that is provided to all children within a classroom must be prepared in a commercial kitchen.
Schools continue to revisit policies that help protect anaphylactic children. Allergic shock can be sudden and even deadly for those affected. Often schools attempt to eliminate allergens from the environment; however this can create a false sense of security, as it is almost impossible to guarantee an allergen-free school. At Evergreen School, we will work together with families to create a safe environment. We recognize the need to balance the right and convenience of all students to eat what they like and the allergic child’s right to be safe at school. We hope that by becoming an “allergy aware” school we will continue to promote greater awareness of anaphylactic issues.
To help reduce the risk to our anaphylactic children, we ask you to bring lunches and snacks that are free from nuts. If you are planning to send treats that have been prepared in a commercial kitchen into your child’s classroom, you need to communicate clearly with your child’s teacher beforehand. If classroom treats are mistakenly sent to a classroom, teachers will contact families and remind them that we are unable to distribute items unless a conversation has occurred beforehand. In this case, items can be picked up from the school office or returned home.
