Scholastic Book Orders


We read so much this week - first graders LOVE books!

Every month, your child will bring home a few Scholastic Book Orders. Ordering books is a great way to expand your library at home, as well as encourage your child to continue to be excited about reading! When you order books from Scholastic and use our class activation code (HZ3MF), you help us earn rewards! Those rewards accumulate so we can add more books to our class book nook!

Scholastic Book Orders went home today and are due on Friday, September 13th! Click here for directions on how to order online or click here to go right to the Scholastic Reading Club website. Ordering online has many benefits, however, you can still order using the catalogs.

Nut Free Please!


This year we will be in a peanut/tree nut free classroom. Please send your child with non-homemade, peanut-free snacks. Any snack brought to school should have a label that I can check! If you have a big bag of something at home that you want to put in a small bag for snack, please bring in the label once so I can confirm it's okay! If your child brings in a peanut/tree nut snack, they can eat it at lunch, but not in the classroom. :)

Any special treats for the whole class for special events or birthdays must be peanut-free, store-bought, and discussed with me prior to bringing them in.

I will upload the TBPS letter about our nut-free room onto our blog as soon as possible! It will also be sent home via mail or your child soon.

Please let the school nurse, Allison Conyers or me know if you have further questions.

As always, thanks for the support in keeping our classroom safe, happy, and healthy!

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday! Miss Snyder

Thank You!

Wow, what an amazing class get-together! Almost all of our classmates were there with parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers too! Even our new principals, Ms. Goodnow and Mrs. Hudak, attended. It was great to see everyone there playing, chatting, and enjoying some goldfish. :)

-----------------------------------------

A big "THANK YOU" for all of the family support this week. I was happy to meet everyone at our conferences and see so many families at our get-together. I know summer is a busy season, but the kids had a great time seeing new and old friends and previewing our classroom. 

We'll have many other opportunities to connect this year and I appreciate the participation and communication already! Our connections will make a huge difference in your child's school year.

Let's enjoy the last full week of summer and I'll see you all on the first day of school. :) Miss Snyder

Back-To-School Get Together!



Please stop by the Thatcher Brook playground between 4-6pm on Thursday, August 15th for our Back-To-School Get Together! There is no "big" presentation, just a time for kids to come and play, for parents to ask questions, get to know each other, and get to know me! See you there!

Hopes and Dreams Conference

Hello Families!

I have been attempting to call each of you to set up our hopes and dreams conference, but unfortunately student phone numbers are not available in our system yet! I've been using phone numbers from past files, so I am not sure if the numbers are correct (or working!) If you see this message please call or email me (my phone number and email address are on previous letters) so we can set up a time to meet.

Thank you for understanding,
Rachael Snyder
