HOMEWORK:
1. Read to your child every day.
2. Look over the papers your child brings home every day. Compliment your child's work. Possibly discuss any errors he/she made.
3. I encourage every first grader to complete levels on the Reading Eggs and Math Seeds learning websites. Your child will be given a log-in password to use. Go to www.readingeggs.com. Every student has a unique password. If your child forgot his/hers, just let me know. These online activities should be completed independently by your child. The programs will progress at your child's personal ability level.
Library will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Please help your child remember to return his/her book every week so that he/she may check out a new one.
BEDTIME:
Thanks for getting your child to bed on time. It makes a big difference.
BIRTHDAYS:
Birthdays are special! If you would like to send treats with your child, please send only store-bought items. If it is a food item, it must be in its original wrapper - with the ingredients listed on the label. Please be aware that some students have allergies and some diet restrictions. Therefore, don't forget, pencils, erasers, and stickers are fun treats, too. We will celebrate students' summer birthdays on their half-birthdays during the school year. For example, if your child's birthday is July 23, we will celebrate his/her birthday on January 23 - their "half-birthday."
CLOTHING:
All students need non-marking gym shoes. No hightops, please. Velcroe shoes are an option. Please send socks to school to wear with his/her gym shoes, if your child likes to wear sandals during the day. I also ask that each child have an extra outfit (shirt, underwear, shorts/pants) in his/her locker. These clothes will come in handy in case your child gets sick, has an accident, or gets wet/muddy during recess. I do not have extra clothes for students to borrow.
OUTDOOR RECESS:
When there is snow on the ground, your child needs to have boots on his/her feet. Please make sure your child has a hat, mittens, snow pants, boots, and a warm winter coat. Also, make sure all of your child's belongings are labeled.
SNACK TIME / BREAKFAST & LUNCH:
First grade does not have a snack time like Kindergarten.
School-prepared breakfast and lunch are available.
Second servings of food cost an additional amount.
EMAILS:
My school email is [email protected]
I will reply to all of your emails. If you do not get a reply from me, that means I did not receive it.
CLASS DOJO:
I will send pictures of the students and messages by means of Class Dojo. Be sure to enter your code to be connected. Please check your Class Dojo app every day for messages.
MEDICATION/ ALLERGIES:
Please inform me if your child needs any medication during the school day. Please also inform me if your child has any allergies.
