Welcome to the Multiage Manatee Class!

Welcome back to the Blue Group (2nd Graders) and welcome to the Red Group (1st Graders)!  We are excited to be back at school!

The first six days of school have been focused on learning classroom procedures and rules.  The Golden Rule is our overarching philosophy in the classroom.  (Treat others as you want to be treated).  You may hear your child talk about the Golden Rule and how important it is in school and life.  We have read Do Unto Otters: A Book About Manners, by Lauri Keller and Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons, by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. 
Blue Group students are currently partnering with Red Group students to create an ABC book about character and manners and how important they are to Multiage Manatees.

Thank you to those of you that have turned in the Student Information and Parent Volunteer Sign-Up forms. We appreciate your prompt attention to these valuable forms that help us get organized at the beginning of the year.  We will be posting our volunteer schedule and class directory very soon.

WATER BOTTLES!
Feel free to send water bottles in with your child to use at school.  We ask that the bottles be "easy-snap" closures to prevent spills.  The convenience of water bottles gives your child more opporunity to hydrate and avoid the long lines at our two water fountains. 


Our specialist schedule is in place, and ready to begin on Tuesday, September 13th.
(We will also send a hard copy of this schedule home on Thursday for your convenience.)
