Hands up for the first day of school!
Room 4 rocked week 1!
Dear Parents,
Welcome to our Classroom Blog! We are so excited to start our first full week of first grade and I look forward to "seeing you" tonight at Back to School Night! 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 4!
Here are a few reminders for this week:
- Back to School Night is tonight at 6:30pm. Please review the presentation and have your questions ready! Please use the Zoom link to access the meeting. A packet with some more info will be sent home today in your child's Home Folder today.
- 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 urge 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. You can empty out any papers that were completed in school. Please make sure that homework (if a worksheet), Sight Words baggie, and "R" copybook stay in the left pocket and be returned each day.
- On Friday, we will be having our One Book, One School Book Club. We will be talking about "The Wish Tree" and completing a fun activity.
- Friday will be a Dress Down Day. 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!
