School is well under way…
Here’s a quick update!
Homework
You should be seeing yellow homework sheets coming home daily now, with 20 minutes of reading nightly (or more!) and a sign off or initial section once that has been done. Also any assignments, projects or work not finished in class, will often be pushed onto homework and we always take time as a class to fill it out at the end of the day. Kids always know where more sheets can be found or you can always print another one from this website. Homework sheets are checked every morning and sheets are collected every Monday, with new weekly sheets going out that same Monday.
Request
Water bottles? It’s still rather warm for September and sometimes a quick drink at the fountain just doesn’t do it. If you have a non-disposable water bottle, feel free to send it with your child. Better yet, if you’d like to donate some disposable water bottles (or EVEN better, a class set of 27) we’d love you for it!
Snacks
Feel free to send snacks for just your child whenever you would like. I generally let them eat whenever they feel they need to. We have the last lunch at 12:20 so it can be a long wait. It can also be pretty intimidating (not to mention costly) bringing in snacks for 27, so just send them for your kiddo! The ants, bugs and occasional rodent only ask that you avoid candy, sugary treats and drinks with sugar. Our backdoor has provided a fieldday for pests so help us out! Our last “infestation” was a scene out of Aliens… all located in a students’ desk…
Open House
Coming to Cooper on September 16th at 6:30pm-8pm. There will be an informal gathering in the gym from the principal, Mrs. Williams, to greet everyone and introduce the staff (including many of the new members of Cooper) and then make your way to classrooms, where you can then find out just how much learning goes on here at Cooper. Come one, come all!
