First grade weekly news 1-27-14

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  Below are some important things for upcoming events...

Parent/Teacher conferences will be on Wednesday, Feb. 12th from 4-8 p.m. and Thursday, Feb. 13th from 1-8 p.m.  I sent a note home last week letting you know if I felt a conference was needed or not.  Please make sure the date and time work for you, if they don't please email or call me ASAP so we can reschedule for a time that works.  If I will not be meeting with you, I will still be contacting you through phone or email before grade cards come out about your child's progress this quarter.  

Thursday, Feb. 13th will be a half-day of school due to conferences.  It will also be the day that we have our classroom Valentines party.  It will start at 10:30 and the kids will be dismissed from school at 11:30.  If you plan on taking your child home that day please make sure to sign the sign-out sheet.

Next week's homework is important.  The kids will be making their own Valentine's box to use to keep their valentines in.  I will have directions and information attached to next week's homework!

I am also sending home our February newsletter this week.  On the back, I have included our class list for valentine purposes.  Please encourage your child to write them :).  Also, remember that there is a class list of names on our webpage!!!

That is all I can think of right now, if you have any questions or concerns please call or email me.  Have a great week!

First grade weekly news 1-13-14

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  Below are some updates for this week (not many)...

NO SCHOOL next Monday January 20th due to Martin Luther King, Jr. day :)

Our Java Joe's fundraiser ends this Friday Jan. 17th.  So please make sure you get your order forms turned in that day.

February conferences are coming up soon.  However these conferences are on a needed basis only.  I will be sending out slips soon letting you know if I think we need to meet or not about your kiddo :).
Whether I meet with you or not, I will still be contacting parents in February letting you know about your child's progress.

We will be having our Star Student lunch in the class this Friday, Jan. 17th!  I went ahead and already checked the kids' folders and put a star sticker on December if they went both November and December without getting any yellow, orange, or red days.  I will be sending home a reminder in their purple folders about it.  Make sure to check your child's folder to congratulate them on their awesome behavior in school!

Have a great week!

First grade weekly news 1-6-14



Happy new year!  Welcome back…below is some information for this week.

Our January newsletter is attached to this email.  Please read through it so you can be up to date on what is going on this month in the classroom.  Also included in the newsletter are a few “Teacher Wish List” items.  If there is anything on there that you can donate the kids and I would be very appreciative. 

We will be starting new reading groups on Tuesday this week.  If your child goes to another teacher for the 20 minute small group time I will be letting you know so that you are aware.  If I don’t let you know then your child is with me. 

Book orders will go out this week and won’t be due until next Monday the 13th. 

We have Monday the 20th off from school due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Grade cards will be coming home on Friday. 

We are back to our normal schedule.  So hopefully the kids can get back into their normal routine.  If you have any questions or concerns please call or email me.  Have a great week!
