CURRICULUM NIGHT: First Grade Curriculum Night will be on Thursday, August 27th at 5 pm. All three classes will meet in the cafeteria to begin Curriculum Night and we will break up into individual classrooms at the end of our group presentation for parents to see their child's desk, leave them a note on their desk, and ask any questions you may have specific to our classroom.

MATH FACT HOMEWORK: This week we will begin homework in first grade! Each night your child will complete a section of their math facts homework that will remain in their green folder until Friday. This week, your child will be working on math facts for 0, so they will be adding numbers 0-12 to the number 0. On Friday, your child will have a timed quiz where they will have 5 minutes to answer 25 math fact questions on the math facts for 0.

CLASSROOM TEMPERATURE FIXED: At this point in time, the temperature in our classroom has been consistently back to normal! I wanted to pass this good news along so that you could help your child dress appropriately.

SCHOLASTIC ORDER: If your child would like to purchase books from Scholastic, please utilize the following link to place their order. https://orders.scholastic.com/ZD3NF

STAR STUDENT: The Star Student for the month will be celebrated here each month!

SNACK: Please send your child to school each day with one snack to have during our classroom snack time.

SNACK SIGN-UP: I always like to have extra snacks in the classroom with the chance that a child might forget to pack one for the day. If you would like to help provide snacks for the classroom I have created a signup sheet. I have divided the sheet into months. If your name is under the month in which we find ourselves needing more snacks in the classroom, I will email you asking for them. Please do not send in snacks on your month unless you receive an email requesting some. Thank you so much for your generosity!

LIBRARY READ ALOUD: Our reader for this week is Rachel Calvert!
