Ribera, Marilyn

Please keep all toys at home. There are plenty of toys in class and I wouldn't want them to get mixed up or lost.

This week we will be discussing insect characteristics, how insects live and where they live. Click on the link to find out more about the insect study.  Also, if you haven't sent in a family picture, please do so I can add it to the display. If you have any old cards that you aren't using, you may want to send them in so the children can use them in the writing center. If you have tubes from wrapping paper, paper towels or toilet paper, I will take them.

Monday:  Book - Diary of a Worm

Tuesday: Book - Insect Homes

Wednesday:  Book - Under the Lemon Moon 

Thursday: Book - Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!

Friday: Book - Bugs2! 

What your child will need:

• Regular size backpack big enough to fit a folder
• Small blanket, roll up sleeping mat or fitted sheet (they would need to be able to get it on their mat independently) 
• A small stuffed animal (only one please)
• Healthy snack and drink
• Lunch and drink (if they are not buying lunch)
• Change of clothing to leave at school (please put clothes in a ziploc bag with their name on it)
• Diapers and wipes if needed
• School ID

Please label all items with your child's name or initials as many children have the same items and they easily get mixed up as they are learning where to put their belongings.

Online Backpack: Go to jacksonsd.org - Select Elms School on the top right from the drop down menu - Select Our District on top left - Select  Online Backpack from the drop down menu  
This page contains flyers and forms that in the past were printed and sent home with students. The change to an online "backpack'' is just one way the Jackson School District is trying to "go green'' to save money, preserve resources, increase efficiency and promote parental involvement. 

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns at mribera@jacksonsd.org

 I am available for phone calls most days from 8:40am - 8:55am and 12:15pm - 1:00pm.
