Dear First Grade Families,
First, thank you so much for attending our Back to School night! I have uploaded our slideshows to my learning page under “Newsletters” if you were unable to attend.
We had a FULL week of school and now a long weekend! I plan to send out an email of my volunteer schedule before Tuesday. If you forgot to turn in your volunteer form, want to change a day/time, or decide you would like to volunteer, please email me :)
Some highlights from our week includes:
Math: We started learning about shapes and their attributes (number of sides, vertices, etc)
Literacy: We review some of our vowels and cvc words (consonant, vowel, consonant)
Social Studies: MAPS! We learned about parts of a map, some map vocabulary, and will continue into next week.
Social/Emotional: Inside voice vs outside voice, personal space, and respect is also kindness
Labor Day!: We learned about what Labor Day is and how we can celebrate by thanking working adults in our lives.
Students came home with their Friday Folders today. There is a packet for “Homework” and it is NOT required. If students return the packet completed, they will earn blue tickets and possibly a special prize (not food).
This coming Monday, September 1st is Labor Day so no school! I look forward to seeing your kiddos on Tuesday :)
I hope you will have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday First Grade Families,
It was a fun first two days back to school! Thank you for working with me to support your child's learning 🙂
We had two early release days that helped transition us from summer to school, but it looks like the heat will continue on Monday. PSD decided to have early release days every day next week due to the heat. If there are any changes in pick-up, bus or afterschool plans, please let me and our front office know.
We learned about each other, the classroom and Shepardson! Here are some highlights from the last couple of days:
STEM Bins
Banana Tag in PE
Drawing ourselves on the first day of school
"Find Someone Who"
Sparkle Jar
How to be a good friend and classmate
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. Have a wonderful weekend 🙂

Happy Monday First Grade Families,
I forgot to include the Room Parent email and sign-up. Please see below :)
As we begin a new school year, I wanted to share a little idea—a Class Directory. This directory will not only help students and families connect for extracurricular activities, get-togethers, or playdates outside of school hours.
*It's important to note that it's completely optional to add your contact information.* The list will only include those who choose to participate, respecting your privacy and control over your personal information.
🔗Miss Bergeron's Class Directory 2025-2026
Feel free to update the list with any contact details you'd like to share. Thank you for helping to build such a supportive and connected classroom community this year—I am excited to get to know you and your amazing children!
Warmly,
Angela Bergeron

Dear First Grade Families,
I hope you had a wonderfully fun summer! I am so excited to get to know you and your student.
Here are some fun facts about me :) I have taught 5th grade for 10 years and am SO excited to jump to 1st grade. I am originally from New Hampshire, but I have been living in Colorado for 4 years. I love all things outdoors: hiking, paddling, walking, camping, snowboarding, dog walks, etc.
A couple of things to think about before Supply Drop-off (Tuesday, August 12th from 3pm to 4pm):
Does your student have a preferred name they would like to use here at school?
I have attached an email from our Shepardson PTO Room Parent Volunteer Coordinator. Other sign-ups will be available at Supply drop-off and in their Friday Folders that will go home on Friday, August 15th.
I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday! If you are unable to make it, please let me know and I will send you the information that will be given at Supply Drop-off or I will send it in the Friday Folder.
Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
Angela Bergeron
