Thanks for making the effort to come to Back to School Night. Our first two days of school were great! It gets easier for first graders to spend the whole day in school as the weeks progress. Thanks to those that have sent in supply donations and for signing up for morning snacks.
We are starting our first full week of school, please look in your child's homework folder, for their spelling list, decodable books, and August reading record. Remember that I ask that you read with your child for 20 minutes 5 times per week. Please include the decodable books in your nightly reading. After you read, have your child color in a "sun". The reading chart for August will be worth 50 points since it is a short month, after that the reading records will be worth 100 points. August's reading record will be due, Thursday, September 1st. Our spelling test will be on Friday.
I have also included a "Star of the Week" schedule. If you know now that your cannot be "Star of the Week" on their assigned week, please let me know and I can change it. I will remind you of your week the Friday before. The take-home librarian has included a note also, please read and sign and return the bottom portion.
Please plan on attending our First Grade Parents Night, this Tuesday, August 23 at 6:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. We,as a first grade team, will be explaining how our Literacy block will be conducted for the upcoming year. Mrs. Allen our Reading Specialist will be there to explain the program and questions and comments can be addressed also at this time. Come and enjoy a slice of pizza with us. The meeting should last about one hour.
Mr. Burton wanted to me mention that we still need parent volunteers for our Community Council. If you are interested in helping out in this way please let the office know by September 12.
Make sure you scroll down the page so that you can see to the right , our daily math, calendar, and other important items that might interest you.
