Class DOJO -In our classroom we utilize a communication app called, CLASSDojo. It is used to share communication between parents and myself about the children in our classroom.  I will share pictures as well as weekly summaries of our goings on in class.  Addtionally, parents can communicate privately to me and others through the instant messaging feature.  Parents will be invited to use the app once they are in the class.  It is a wonderful way to essentially be invited in to our classroom while maintaining a level of privacy as well.    

Morning Prayer:
Dear Jesus, Please show me how to spend this day, sharing your love in every way, help me to be kind to everyone, to play and laugh and have lots of fun. Shining your light and giving your grace, sharing your joy with a smile on my face, Amen.

Snack/ Lunch Prayer:
Thank you for the world so sweet.  Thank you for the food we eat.  Thank you for the birds that sing.  Thank you, God, for everything.  Amen.

• A backpack (big enough to hold all items and labeled with your child’s name) 
• A folder (We will provide a label for this) 
• A face mask (should be worn to enter school) 
• A lunch box containing a healthy snack and lunch (extended day students) and drink. Please keep lunch and snack simple and use containers that your child is comfortable opening. 
• A change of clothes and spare face mask (just in case). These can be placed in a ziplock bag and kept in the back pack for easy access.
