Library:  We have library on Tuesdays for half of an hour.  Students will have the opportunity to check out books and bring them home.  In the Library they will be given lessons on how to use the library, read stories, and assist students in checking out books.

Literacy Centers:  During literacy centers, children practice reading and writing skills while the teacher works with individual children or small guided reading groups.  The center activities are designed to strengthen letter/sound knowledge, listening skills, oral language expression, rhyme, letter formation and cooperation.  We will also be incorporating Daily Five this year:  Read to Self, Buddy Read, Listen to reading, word work, and writing about reading.

Lunch:  We have lunch from 10:55-11:50.  Children may bring a packed lunch from home or eat a school lunch.  Each morning when students enter the classroom, they will sign up for their choice for lunch.  Students will be sent home with a calendar monthly with the menu.  PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD KNOWS WHAT HIS OR HER LUNCH CHOICE IS WHEN THEY ENTER THE CLASSROOM.  Also the menu changes monthly as far as alternatives for the main course so watch that carefully.
