Headphones
We received our iPads Friday after school and will be ready to use this week! It is very important that every student brings headphones for their iPad. We use the iPads for listening to reading and it is crucial to have headphones to limit the noise.
Thank you!

Scholastic Books Orders
Looking for a way to expand your child's library at home??
Our class code to order online is TRW8Q.
Tying Shoes
Please encourage your student to practice tying their shoes when they are at home. :) This is a skill that is very valuable during the school day.
Homework
Read every night for 10-15 minutes. First grade encourages to play card, dice, and board games to reinforce math, social, and fine motor skills. Home connection worksheets for math will be occasionally sent home and will reinforce what we are learning at school.
Snack
Snack will be every day at 1:30 pm. Snack is not required. 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. As of right now, there are no food allergies in the class.
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.
