Welcome to 1A!

Sept. 4, 2025

Your child is free to bring a coloring book in to keep in his/her desk.  Some of the children like to color at lunch play time and my coloring books have seen better days.

If your child will be attending CARES beginning next week, please send a note in the Green Home Folder.   Please check the Green Home Folder each day and remove all items sent home (except the Communication Calendar).  The Communication Calendar will begin on Monday.

If your child will be bringing in treats to celebrate his/her birthday, I ask that you be mindful and send in treats free of red and yellow dyes.  Examples of treats that the whole class can enjoy are:  brownies, brownie bites, Rice Krispie treats, munchkins, unfrosted cookies (like chocolate chip - no M&Ms, oreos, etc.), pretzels, chips, pencils, small bouncy balls, etc.

Your child has received a letter and is assigned to my classroom - Hooray!  I look forward to meeting him/her!

Parents, to help me prepare for your child's arrival and communication with you throughout the year, please email me individually from ALL emails you'd like to receive classroom emails to as part of our classroom group.  Please do not email me from one email and list the others in that email.  Emailing from separate addresses allows me to just add you to the group and avoids any typos on my part. Please put your child's name in the subject.  If you do NOT wish to be part of the group chain, please indicate that in the email to me.

If you haven't done so, begin to shop for clear contact paper.  You will need plenty!

Please check out the First Grade Readiness Skills sidebar of my website.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Mrs. Donohue
