Announcements:
After Winter
Break we will begin Little House in the Big Woods for literature and the
Singapore 2B workbook for math. Please send these books with your child to
school upon our return.
Please
make sure that you email your student’s teacher if you plan for your child to
miss school leading up to winter break.
These days are very important and students may miss crucial content
instruction and assessments.
As
the weather (and our classrooms) becomes cool, school dress code states that
students may wear a Cicero uniform sweater/sweatshirt or a solid navy sweater
inside (no hoodies, please). They may
wear other types of jackets and sweatshirts outside at recess. We will be enforcing this dress code policy
more strictly beginning this week. Please make sure your scholar has a
dress-code appropriate sweater as the classrooms get chilly during the day.
Please
send your student with a healthy snack and lunch to help him or her be
successful throughout the day in the classroom.
We have noticed that students who have highly-processed and sugary meals
have difficulty concentrating in class and regulating behavior, especially in
the afternoon.
