1st grade weekly news 3-30-15

Hi there!  Hope everyone will get a chance to enjoy the nice weather!  Below are some important updates for this week so take a peek!

Box Tops- the contest will be ending tomorrow (Tuesday), so please have your kiddo turn any that you have at home before then.

April newsletter- will be coming home sometime this week...so be looking for it either in your child's purple folder, in an email, or on our class blog :)

1st grade music program- is next Tuesday April 7th at 6:30.  Mrs. Teldhorst would like the kids to arrive at 6:15.  You may walk them down to our classroom where they will wait with me until it begins.  Please make sure you read over the green note that she sent home last week...it tells when, where, and what to wear.

Counselor lesson- this month she is doing a good touch, bad touch lesson.  A note went home about it last week.  You only need to sign and return it if you don't want your child to participate in the lesson.

Checking folders- please make sure you are checking the front and back pocket at least 3 times a week.  Some of the kiddos folders are getting really full, and I want to make sure you are looking at their graded work coming home, as well as the information being passed out at school.


If you have any questions or concerns call or email me.  Have a great week!

1st grade weekly news 3-23-15

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful spring break…the weather was amazing (for the most part)!

Please read our classroom updates for this week!

Grade cards were sent home today.  Please look over them, if you have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to call or email me.  After you have looked over the grade card, please make sure to sign the envelope and have your child return it to school.  We reuse the same envelope each time grade cards go home.

New reading groups have started!  I will be letting you know what level your child is at, and what we will be focusing on this last quarter sometime this week through a phone call or email. 

The Box Tops contest is almost over, so if you have some at home PLEASE SEND THEM IN!!!  They are a really good way to help our school raise money.

A letter from Ms. Parsons (counselor) is coming home today.  She will be coming in to each classroom during April to talk about “good touch and bad touch.”  The paper only has to be returned if you DO NOT want your child to participate in the lesson. 


We have started our last quarter, and I know things get really busy during spring…but please make sure your child is reading at home as much as possible, as well as taking part in their weekly homework.  Splash Math and RAZKids are great things to do at home as well! 

If you have any questions or concerns please call or email me, have a fantastic week!

1st grade weekly news 3-2-15

Hi there!  Hope everyone had a great weekend...even though the weather probably kept us all inside.  Below you will find information about this week...

The March newsletter has been emailed out and sent home so take a peek!  On it you will find what we will be learning this month, as well as birthdays, important dates, and notes to parents.

Spring Pictures are tomorrow!  Every child will take an individual, and we will also take a group shot.  They will be developed and sent home with you, and you will have the chance to purchase if you would like.

Dr. Suess spirit week is taking place in honor of Dr. Suess' birthday.  Today was dress like your favorite character, tomorrow is Crazy socks, Wed. is Neon day, Thurs. is hat day, and Friday is pajama day.
Also sent home was a weekly reading sheet.  It is a picture of The Cat in the Hat's hat :).  If your child does their nightly reading Monday-Thursday and then returns their sheet to school on Thursday or Friday, they will get to participate in pajama day!  Read, read, read, and read some more!

Book orders will be sent home tomorrow, and since I am a day late getting them out, the due date won't be until Monday of next week.

I am in the middle of getting all of the kids tested for their new reading levels.  When I am done, I will send home information to let you know where they are at the end of this 3rd quarter.  We would like for all of them to be reading at a level G right now, and then at a level I at the end of the year.

If you have any questions or concerns please call or email me.  Have a great week!
