Your child's folder (distributed by me) should be sent to school each day and emptied each night. Please make sure that only homework and necessary notes or monies are in it. This folder is a VERY important part of teaching your child organization! Please help them remember it EVERY day!
Please send and money to school in an envelope marked with your child’s name and the purpose of the money – then put the envelope in the folder.
Please be sure to label all removable clothing (jackets, sweaters, shoes, etc.).
Please remember that rolling backpacks are NOT allowed in first grade. Your child will, however, need a backpack for P.E. shoes, reading books, and folders.
Your child will have homework every night (never on Friday). I don’t really believe in homework BUT it is very important to READ every night and to STUDY spelling words every night. Please, please, please use me as your excuse to make your child do these things. Mrs. Hurst said you have to read and study spelling! The spelling lesson is incorporated in the Reading lessons. The words and sentences are available in several ways. You can find the list for the whole year on my webpage or you can find the lists, one week at a time, on their daily work that will be send home in folders.
I am asking that you check this werbpage page AT LEAST every Monday! All important information will be posted here. This is a great way to go paperless. Please use it. I will be using Dojo as well.
RELAX! This is going to be an enjoyable year for you and your child! Just remember these few requests and I’ll take care of the rest!
