Blepharitis

So sorry that I was out last week. I woke up Monday and my eye was swollen shut. I had/have what is called blepharitis which is an infection of the eyelid. It was very severe and very painful. However, most of the swelling is gone and I am glad to be back at school I missed all my students. So sorry that homework packets didnt go home last week. Students will be completing this in class. Thanks for your patience and well wishes.

What shoes are your child wearing?

The weather has changed. Your child has grown a lot since last Spring. Keeven has seen many new clothes. Make sure when you buy new clothes that they fit the dress code. We have seen many shoes that do not fit the code. Shoes should be black, brown, or white. NO bright colors. Also tall boots are not allowed with skirts. Pants should be worn over the shoe as well. If you have any questions email me at mcoleman@hazelwoodschools.org.

Counting Change

One of the skills we are working on in Room 5 is counting coins. Many students are struggling. Your child may need help: Identifying coins and thier value
Adding the change
Or making change from a dollar
Work with your child with change. Give them real experience at home or in stores managing coins to help them excel in the classroom.

Spring Pictures

Spring picture forms went home today. They will take pictures on Wednesday, March 3.

School Supplies

Students are running low on their classroom school supplies. Most students need 1 composition notebook, 1 spiral notebook, and one three pronged folder. Please send these supplies as soon as you can. I will put your child's name on it and when they need it, it will be there. Thanks!
