and clean.

Class StoreEach week the kids will have different jobs that help to
make our classroom a place that is both fun and safe.
Each day that they remember to do their jobs, the
children will earn income.
At the end of each month, our class, as well as 2 others,
will open a class store during the math period and the
children may choose to spend their earnings there.
The boys and girls will be able to get authentic practice
using money as well as having fun.
The key factors that make this activity not only fun but
also a valuable and meaningful learning experience will
be parent volunteers to help with counting money and
making purchases as well as donations for our
inventory.
Items can be sent in at anytime during the school year
and will be very much appreciated by the kids!

HOMEWORK
Almost every night there will be somehomework for your child to complete. Part ofwhat they will be responsible for is doingsome reading each day. There will be aReading Log each week for you to fill outtogether showing how many minutes wereread each day. At least 15 minutes of readingeach day is expected, but the reading can be
anything they choose. Books, magazines, eventhe comics count! Time that you spend readingto them can also be included in their readingtotals.
Sometime in October, each student will havea weekly Bag Book to bring home. This willbe a book with an activity that they will havea week to complete and return. The timethey spend reading this book will also count
toward their reading totals.
There is also a nightly math Home Linkworksheet. This math homework will be areview of what we worked on during classand should not take more than 10-15 minutes
to complete. It is often reviewed the nextday before moving on with the next lesson,so it is very important that it comes back
with them in their Home/School Folders.
Students are encouraged to have refillable water bottle in thclassroom. Staying hydrated iimportant in the warmer months, bucan also help prevent dry skin an
chapped lips in thcolder Maine climate
They a re a lwayallowed to keep awater bottle at theidesk and can refill athe water fountain.

Volunteering
Volunteering is so important here at KES. As a
volunteer, you can provide our kids with great role
models. If you have some extra time and the
desire, your help will be very much appreciated.
If you dont have much time to offer, but would still
like to do something to help, there are
opportunities to assist the classroom in other
ways. We always need donations of tissues,
hand sanitizer (with pump tops or sanitizing
wipes), band-aids, plastic zip-top bags, and other
supplies. Donations for our Class Store (see page
3) are always welcome as well!
I have several different kinds of volunteering
opportunities and other needs come up
throughout the year for things like field trips and
PE programs like roller skating and snow
shoeing. You can sign up here tonight or contact
me later. Your support is always greatly
appreciated, no matter how you do it!

Stability BallsStudies have shown that the braincan benefit from movement duringlearning. Many of our teachershave implemented the use ofstability balls in the classroom as areplacement for standard deskchairs and found it to besuccessful. I will be continuingthis program as an option to my2nd graders. If your child wouldlike to use a stability ball inreplacement of a chair, they mayuse one. Each child will use onlytheir ball which will be adjusted tobest fit them at their desk. We willbegin the year using chairs andintroduce the balls after severallessons about how to use themsafely and properly.
