I am so delighted to be your child's First Grade
teacher this year. Here is some information you may need to refer to
throught out the year.
Friday Folders
I will be sending some notes and student papers
to you that will be in your child's Friday Envelope. Please look over
and discuss your child's work with them. Their work is important too!
There will be a space available for parent comments. Initial the
envelope and be sure your child is responsible for returning it to
school on Monday.
Planners Each child is supplied with a Planner. These are an
essential form of communication between home and school. We will write
in it about their daily activities. Spelling Words will be written in
the planners as well. Please free to use the space available to
communicate any comments or concerns you may have about your child or
school. I check these daily and will respond to them. The planner must
come back to school daily and I would encourage you to make your child
responsible for getting it back to their backpack after sharing the
information with you.
Library Books
Each child will be able to check out one library book
and take it home to read or have read to them. Engourage them to tell
you about the pictures as the book is read and have them tell you the
sequence of events. Our library has a flexible checkout system, meaning
your child may check out as often as they would like. I do ask that
your child check out a new book at least once a week. Make sure your
child is responsible for keeping the book in a safe place and returning
it to school.
Super Student
Your child will be assigned a week to be "Super
Student". I try to have this be close to their birthdays, summer
birthdays I fill in throughout the year where possible. I will send a
note at least one week in advance. This is their time to share. I ask
that they bring a few shapshots of family members, if possible, on
Monday of their week. They may also bring in Show & Tell each day
of that week.
Snacks
We have a special snack time set aside each day in the morning following first recess. Your child may bring a healthy
snack such as raisins, apples, nuts, fruit snacks, poptarts, dry
cereal, pretzels, etc. I ask that they do not bring candy or chocolate,
and only enough for them to eat on that day.
