Welcome to Mrs. Kramer's 4th Grade Classroom!

Lunch menus can be found on the weekly yellow sheet sent home from the office every Friday. Or at this web address: http://teacherweb.com/mn/breckenridge/elementaryMiddleschool/Table0.stm

Lunch and /or breakfast money may be paid in the office. If paying at school, please send money in a labeled envelope with your child's name, grade, and the amount. If you have more than one child attending our school, one check can be written for both, but specify each of the child's names, grades etc. All accounts are payable in advance. You can do this by credit card at the school's website: http://breckenridge.revtrak.net/tek9.asp?pg=products&grp=4&sess=5cb75e1f04f0c085bf56532d7c072f40

Snack time

We will have a short break of 5 to 8 minutes every morning. Your child may bring a nutritious snack if he or she would like. Water bottles are allowed as long as they do not interfere with learning and restroom breaks must be taken at the scheduled times. Students are required to take the water bottles home every Friday to be washed or replaced.

Healthy Snacks         

Kids need several small meals a day to get all the nutrition they require. Snacks can add nutrition and help meet the energy needs of busy students. Try to find snacks that are high in vitamins and minerals, but low in fat, salt and sugar. It is important to give our children healthy snacks. Here are some good, healthy snack ideas you can bring for a snack!

Fresh fruit (apples, bananas, and grapes are favorites)

Raw veggies plain or with Low Fat Ranch Dressing or peanut butter

Our class will be celebrating with 3 holiday classroom parties.  I will send home a letter with a signup  for  volunteers  to participate at these parties.
