Congratulations, we have all survived our first week of first grade! The students have worked very hard this week learning the classroom rules and procedures!
I am pleased to hear that many of the students were excited about having homework. While your child may be anxious to work on all of the homework in one or two nights, my goal is for students to work on homework every night. Starting next week. I will be attaching a brief explanation of which assignments your child should complete each night. Please do not send homework folders back to school until Friday of each week. Thank you!
On days that we have PE it is very important that your child wear appropriate shoes. Our class specials schedule can be found on our classroom blog page. Please remember to visit our classroom blog each week for updates. My goal is to post updates by Sunday of each week.

Please remember to send a healthy snack with your child daily, as I do not have extra snacks on hand. Thank you for your help with this!
If you are interested in being a classroom volunteer, please be sure to fill out a volunteer application and let me know when you have been approved by the county for this school year. Our work stations (centers) are scheduled each day from 1:15-2:30. We can always use help during this time.
Our class will have media (library) as a special this school year. Students will be asked to return books only on this day. Please make sure your child brings back his/her library book on our assigned library day.
