• How many students do you have in your class?

     We currently have 21 students. 

     

    What can I bring for my child's birthday?

    Our class will celebrate birthdays mostly during morning meeting. We will have a non food item birthday celebration. The birthday student will be our VIP and receive special treats (pencils, stickers, etc.) provided by Mrs. Medford. You are welcome to come eat lunch with your child, but please do not bring food items to share with the class. 

     

    Party invitations may NOT be handed out in class unless they are for every student or all boys/all girls.

     

    What time is Lunch?

      10:45-11:15 

     

    How do I schedule a conference?

    Email is the quickest, easiest way to get in touch with me.  Email me: betsy.medford@boerneisd.net to set up a conference.  Please set up a meeting with me ahead of time so I can be prepared and available for you.

     

    How do I change my child's transportation?   

    For safety reasons, please send in a note or an email and remind your child the morning of.  We have to have a note from you about changes in transportation.  If it is an unexpected, same day change, please call the office. I do not always have a chance to check my email throughout the day, so PLEASE do not email same day changes to me.   

     

    Does my child have homework?   

    We work REALLY hard in class from bell to bell and I believe that your time at home is for family & extra curricular activities. Homework is not required in my class. I will send home paper books that reinforce the phonics skills we have covered in class. As well as a reading fluency practice page for your child to increase reading fluency (speed and rate of reading). I will also send home a math workbook that reinforces what we have learned in class. Both the math workbooks and reading practice are for you to keep at home to use throughout the year.

    If you are looking for extra things to do as a family to support your child in class, I highly recommend finding a book or series of books to read together. I personally have enjoyed revisiting books from my childhood with my daughters through audiobooks. If you need a book recommendation, please reach out!
