Homework in First Grade
Students are to read every night for 10-15 minutes. I will send home math connection worksheets occasionally. They will be a golden yellow color and will be in your students red folder.
Red Folder
Students will bring their red folder to and from school everyday. Please check the red folder daily for homework and any communication.
Star Student
On Fridays I will announce the star student for the week. Students can be chosen for Star Student by: displaying and showing kindness, following the rules of school, being helpful, and doing their very best! The student will take home an "All About Me" page on Friday to be filled out over the weekend. On Monday he/she will present it to the class.
No School on Labor Day, Monday, September 2
Our first day of school will be Tuesday, September 3.
Snack
Snack will be every day towards the end of the day. Students are not required to bring a snack, but can if they want. Families will have to provide the snack for their student. I will occasionally provide snack if the child forgets their own and is hungry. Snacks need to be small and not disruptive to the class. Please look below at a list of snacks that are approved of being allergy free and healthy:
Fresh fruits and vegetables
Dried fruit
Fruit cups
Applesauce
Yogurt
Dry whole grain cereals
Whole grain crackers
Popcorn
Edamame
Rice cakes
Granola (without nuts) or cereal bars
String cheese or other low-fat cheeses
Headphones
It is very important that every student bring a set of headphones for their iPad. We use the iPads for listening to reading and it is crucial to have headphones to limit the noise.
Birthday Treats
We LOVE celebrating birthdays in our classroom! Crestview is a birthday treat free school and so is our classroom. Student safety is our biggest priority. Please consider alternate options to birthday treats such as a book or game to donate to the classroom, or a pencil for classmates. We appreciate you understanding the special event/birthday treats will be sent home if they are brought to school. Our birthday/snack policy is attached below.
