Welcome to one of the most incredible years your child will have in his or her school career! First grade is an exciting time as children embark upon new adventures in the world of learning. This is a year of important social and academic transitions. You will be amazed at just how much your child will grow this year!
The first day flew by! There never seems to be enough time in the beginning few days and the most important question that is asked is always, “When is it lunch time?” Today we read the story, Chrysanthemum, by Kevin Henkes. We also played name bingo to get to know each other better. We will be settling into our normal routines and schedule over the next few days.
The specials schedule rotates on a 6 day cycle which is listed below. I always the daily special in the homework packet (which will start next week) so that you can make sure that your child is properly dressed and prepared. The schedule is as follows:
Day 1 (today)-PE
Day 2-Music
Day 3-PE
Day 4-Art
Day 5-PE
Day 6-Music
In the past, I maintained a class website that highlighted student work, resources, and photographs. The host site has closed so the information is currently off line. My hope is to recreate a new website this year and I will be sure to let you know when and where it ends up back online. In the meantime, we will be communicating via a blog. Please see the attached permission slip for more information.
If you have not sent in school supplies yet, please do so as soon as possible. Also, please provide a small healthy snack for your child each day. We will discuss all of these items and more in greater detail at Meet the Teacher Night (on Sept. 17th).
If you ever have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me at rstern@socsd.org or call me at school at 680-1301. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
I’m sure that we will have an adventurous, fun-filled, and successful year in first grade. Thank you for sharing your child with me!
