Drinking water & Brushing teeth

Dear parents, it has been brought to my attention that the children may not be drinking enough water during class time and that they need more time and a space for teeth brushing.

I encourage students to have their water bottles under their desks and to refill their bottles every period. Please let me know if you would like me to keep a better watch on an individual who might not be drinking enough.

In first grade its optional for children to brush their teeth after a meal, it’s not done collectively. However, If you would like I can provide a space in the classroom for the students to put their mug and toothbrush. I will give them some extra time as well.  Just send it in on Monday.

 I understand how important both these issues are to you! Please just let me know if your child needs that extra push through out the day. 

If you have any other concerns please feel free to bring them up so we can discuss together. I appreciate everyone's support for a great school year!
