Welcome to our Classroom Blog! We are so excited to start our first full week of first grade, and are looking forward to a great year. Thanks to all of you who came to Back to School Night. You can find the BTSN information here. It was great to meet everyone. We have a lot of fun things planned so keep checking our classroom blog for updates and pictures of what is going on in Room 3.
Please Note
- The 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 encourage you to also have expectations and routines at home as well. For example, each day after school your child can eat a snack, empty their home folder, complete their homework and practice their sight words and spelling words for the week. Simple chores like packing their school bags, helping pack lunches/snack, and making their beds will help your child to become responsible, organized, and independent.
- Please be sure to check your child's "Home Folder" with them every night. They can empty out any papers that were completed in school. If anything needs to be sent to school, please place it in the folder.
- We will start off slow with homework the first few weeks so the kids can get back into the swing of it!
- On Friday, we will be having our One Book, One School Book Club. Students are asked to wear their t-shirt that will be sent home today with their gym shorts. We will be talking about "Boxitects" and completing a fun activity with our 8th grade Buddies.
- There will be a dress-down day on Monday, 9/18. Please send in $1.00 to dress down. ***Our class will also have gym that day due to a conflict in Mrs. Marchese's schedule, so please have the children wear sneakers with their dress-down clothes. (They can still wear their gym uniforms on Friday.)
- The Mystery Reader sign-up genius is up! You can find it here. If you have any questions please let me know!
- Please email me with any questions or concerns :)
Thanks!
