Valentine’s Mailboxes Reminder

Parents:

Valentine’s Day is near and love will be in the air. The kids' favorite part is always the giving and receiving of valentines. We would like you to use your creativity to design a mailbox to display in the hall for the kids to put their valentines in. Shoe boxes work well, but feel free to use other items if you want.  Remember that the mailbox needs a slot or opening for the valentines to go in. This is a fun family activity. Have fun!  I can’t wait to see what you and your child come up with.

Due Date:Tomorrow, Friday, February 13th ☺

We ask that you don’t put names on each valentine. We have noticed in the past that the students who do that become discouraged trying to pass them out to the correct mailboxes. ☺

1st Grade Classroom Schedule

Reminder that the start of our day is at 7:50am for the Morning Meeting. This is a time for our students to come together in a positive way to start our day! Math begins at 8:06am. We still have some students missing at least half of the Math lesson every day.  Please help us & your child to have a smooth start to their day by arriving on time. 

Fine Arts schedule for your child's class is located on the Fine Arts/PE tab at the top of the website page.  Will no longer be put in Blue Folder.

Thank you,

Your 1st Grade Team♥️

Reminders:

Library Form:

Please click on 'Library Form' to fill out for permission to allow your child to check out books from the Library. We still have a decent amount of students who do not have a form filled out. You can either 'Accept' or 'Deny'. All 1st Grade classes go to the Library on Tuesdays.

Classroom:

All students need to bring a water bottle to school. These will travel with them for P.E., Dance, & Recess. Needs to have a top that closes & is spill proof. Having a water bottle in the classroom helps your child stay hydrated, less time leaving the classroom for water.

Label Belongings: 

Help us reunite lost items quickly by labeling everything your child brings to school—jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, uniforms, backpacks, and instrument cases.

• Use a permanent marker or name label

• Include first & last name and grade/homeroom

• Re-check labels after washing

Unlabeled items are hard to return and often end up in Lost & Found. Thanks for your help!
