Switlik School Reading Challenge:
Our school initiative is to independently read for 30 minutes each day in school and every night!!! Reading logs are due the last school day each month! Please be sure you are filling out your childs reading log at home.
We LOVE to celebrate birthdays but there are some guidelines to follow.
We are a NUT FREE classroom so please keep that in mind when sending in treats for your child's birthday.
All birthday treats need to be in to school by our lunch period.
As per school district rules-- NO BIRTHDAY INVITATIONS CAN BE GIVEN OUT IN SCHOOL!
We have 23 students in class along with 3 adults.
We will be dancing during our "Brain Breaks." These breaks give us a chance to move and focus our brains for the next task. We use GoNoodle which is a website with different fun videos to get us moving! You and your family can try it at home. Here is a link: https://www.gonoodle.com
We will be sending home Scholastic catalogs throughout the year.By ordering online, you can help us earn FREE books for our classroom!
Our class code is- LB8KNWebsite: Scholastic Book Club
In our classroom, we will work hard to be "Bucket Fillers", not "Bucket Dipper"!
But what are "Bucket Fillers" & "Bucket Dippers"?
We're going to read the book, Have You Filled a Bucket Today?
This book tells the story how everyone, all over the world, carries an invisible bucket with them. The way that we treat others can fill their buckets when we are kind, or we can dip from their buckets when we use unkind words and actions. Other people can fill or dip from our buckets too.
In the first few days of school, we will spend time learning how we can fill other peoples' buckets and learning how to avoid dipping from them! You'll be able to fill your friends' buckets in our classroom by writing positive notes to them and using kind words!
We will have recess everyday (weather permitting) outside on the playground. As per school rules, all children must have sneakers to climb on the equipment. Thank you for helping us to keep the children safe outside!

Please note that our classroom is a nut-free classroom. Please do not send any tree nut or peanut containing products to your child’s classroom during classroom celebrations or as a snack each day. We are asking your assistance in providing these students with a safe learning environment. Thank you for your cooperation!
