Hello Parents,
Our class is working so well together, and I am proud to be their teacher. They are fantastic kids! This week we finished our safety book, and we are beginning our unit on fables. We are also learning the difference between our city, state, country, and continent (this is a VERY difficult concept for 1st graders). This will be the first week for us to check out books during library time as well. FIRE DRILL - We will have our first fire drill tomorrow morning, so please take some time to talk with your child about this if you feel like they might need the extra confidence boost. I will also help them, to the best of my ability, to feel comfortable with the whole process. MATH/LANG ARTS CLASSES - We are beginning our second week of leveled math and reading classes. If you have any questions about who your math/language arts teachers are, please let me know. We have a really fantastic team of first grade teachers, so your children are all in good hands. ASPIRE - Last week I sent home student i.d. Numbers along with instructions for setting up your ASPIRE account. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Ms. Withers in the front office or send your question to me. My grades are not yet set up in ASPIRE just yet - my apologies. I am having some technical difficulties but am trying to resolve the situation quickly. CARNIVAL - Our carnival is coming soon - September 10, from 4-7 p.m. I hope that you will plan to come. This is a very fun time for our families. You can pre-purchase tickets at a discounted price through the front office until September 5th. If you would like to donate items for a prize basket, the first grade team is collecting Legos (and Lego-related items) and gift cards to any bakeries/sweet shops in the area. LIBRARY VOLUNTEERS - We are in need of parents, grandparents, or other relatives who would like to come and help in our library. There are two opportunities: one is helping kids check out books during our library time (Thursdays 1:30 - 2:00). The other is helping with the HRP program, which is preparing readers “baggie books” for kids to take home. If you are interested in either, you can go to this link to sign up, or you can email Ms. Beckstrand, our librarian. https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/2403241/false#/invitation or [email protected] LABOR DAY & SCHOOL LUNCH - Please remember that there will be no school on Monday, September 3rd. I know that your children will enjoy the extra time with you over the holiday weekend. When we return to school on Tuesday, September 4th, our school lunch program will begin. If you are purchasing lunch for your child, Please be sure that they know. Thank you! Have a great week!
