Class Goals |
As
a class, we have created personal and learning goals to help create a
positive learning environment. The class as a whole works together
to help each other meet these goals. Each year new goals are created to
match the needs of new students.
|
|
First grade is state mandated. Therefore, it is expected each child attend school. If your child must miss school, please send either a parental or medical excuse back to school when he or she returns explaining the absence. The effort to schedule doctor and dentist appointments after school is always appreciated.

|
Beginning and End of the School Day Our First Grade day starts promptly at 9:00. It is important students are on time and ready for a great day. Students begin getting ready to go home at 3:00. If for some reason you need to pick your child up earlier than 3:00 please let me know with a note so your child will be ready when you arrive and teaching time is not interrupted.

|
Starting the first full week of school, your child will be assigned homework Monday through Thursday. He or she is responsible for completing and returning the assignment to school each day. If for some reason the homework cannot be completed, it may be turned in the next day. Please allow your child to complete the work on his or her own but adult supervision is encouraged and at times may be necessary. Depending on the difficulty of the homework, students may need added assistance. The purpose of homework in first grade is to get students into a nightly routine, practice skills we are learning in class and give the students practice work they can complete almost or completely independently.

|
If there is a change of any kind in your child's afternoon transportation, it is imperative that I receive a parental note with the details of the change and the date(s).
|
|
We gladly accept parent volunteers in our classroom! If you would like to listen to children read, work with a center, offer one-on-one help for a child, volunteer as room parent, or help in the computer lab please contact me. As soon as our schedule becomes routine, I will contact you.

|
Each child is allowed to bring a healthy snack for our afternoon snack time. These snacks could include dry cereal, crackers, nuts, graham crackers, or pretzels. Students are allowed to keep water bottles at their desks all day, but are only allowed to fill them twice a day.
