Week of September 11th, 2017

Welcome to our Classroom Blog!

We are so excited to start our first full week of first grade!

Please Note

- These first few weeks of school are very important for setting expectations and learning our classroom routines and procedures. Students thrive in environments where they feel comfortable and know what is expected of them. I urge you to also have expectations and routines at home for things like completing homework, studying and reading. For example, each day after school your child can eat a snack, take out their homework copybook and begin their homework. You can even have a set place for them to complete their work. Simple things like this will help your child to become responsible, organized and independent!

- Please be sure to check your child's "Home Folder" every night. You can empty out any papers that were completed in school.

- An "All About Me" project will be sent home this week. Please complete this with your child. it will be due next Friday, September 22nd.

- Friday will be a Dress Down Day for hurricane victims. Please send in $1.00 with your child. Please also review the dress down day policy in the school handbook.

- Please email me with any questions or concerns :)

Thanks!
