Volunteer Schedules

Special K Days
Special K days will be held this year on Friday from 11:00am-12:00pm! We might be cooking, painting, creating, singing...as long as it is fun! As a Special K day helper you would be working in our classroom with me preparing materials, assisting children with projects, helping to clean up and of course having fun. Some of our projects include making apple pies, preparing our Thanksgiving/Friendship feast, gingerbread houses and famous artists. Please note that these dates are tentative and could change:
Sept. 25, Oct. 23, Nov. 20, Dec. 11 (Gingerbread houses), Jan. 22, Feb. 19, March 12, and April 23.

Story time Readers
Story time readers can either bring in one or two of their favorite books to share (or I can provide books) with the class! Story time is scheduled for twice a month on Wednesdays from 11:50am-12:10pm.


SHOW & TELL
Your child may bring an item for show and tell on her/his snack day.  Please know that weapons of any sort are not acceptable as well as toys that depict death or pain.  There are many items that your child can bring to school that are not toys.  Just put imagination to work!

              

SNACK
Your child is expected to bring a snack to share.  This usually consists of something to eat and drink.  We have 18 students in our classroom.  Snacks should be healthy.  Snacks may be store-bought or homemade.  A half-gallon of drink is usually sufficient.  This can be juice or milk.  Please do not send soda pop.  Make sure that snacks are easy to pass out as we have limited time to prepare snacks.  Please save sugary refreshments for birthday treats.  Some suggestions for snacks are: muffins, pretzels, granola bars, fruit (cut-up), pudding or yogurt cups, cereal mix, graham crackers, crackers, and cheese, etc.  Because of peanut allergies, do not send peanut butter snacks to school until you have checked with me to see if we have any children with this allergy.
 FYI- Many times I do not send home leftover snacks.  I keep them in the classroom to be used for those days when a child does not bring in a snack.  Also, if you do forget a snack, don't worry about it-it happens!  Just send in a bottle of juice or a box of crackers to be stored in the classroom as another way to have snacks for those days when someone forgets snack!
