In the Know
Each Monday I will be sending home the Sneak Peek at the Week.This will have all of the information that we have covered during that particular week.  I may also list concepts that will be coming up.  There may be a week or two that I will not send the note home due to a short week etc.  A reading group note will be sent home every Monday.  I am thrilled to be your child's teacher.  Please contact me anytime with questions or concerns.


​Birthdays
Birthdays are so special and exciting!  Your child may bring in pencils, stickers etc. to share with the class, if they choose.  We also love to have the parents come in and read to the class. Summer birthdays can celebrate their half birthday or celebrate in May.  I will contact you a few days before your child's special day.  Birthdays are celebrated at 3:15 in the afternoon.

First Grade Information

​Reading
Each night your child will have 15-20 minutes of reading. I will send home a reading story binder for the first few months and then your child may take books home from our classroom. The story binder is great practice for phonics, fluency and comprehension.

Folders
Your child will have one folder in their backpack each day they come home from school.  Please check the folder daily and take out the papers in it.  Please place the folder back in the backpack.  If you have special notes for me or the office, place them in the folder. Thank you so much!
