Hello Everyone,

Welcome to First Grade! This year will be an exciting year in your child’s life. I am looking forward to sharing it with you.

 

Students will have many supplies to bring in and parents will not be able to enter the building to help them carry all their supplies. I have made a list of which supplies your child should bring in each day so that it is easier for them to carry it themselves.

1 box of markers-fine line line**

1 box of markers-broad line**

*Please have everything opened, out of the package, and labeled with your child’s name.

**Please save the extra boxes of markers and crayons for January at home.

On Wednesday, September 6^th please send in:

2 boxes of tissues (1 for homeroom and 1 for Art room)

*I will send Art supplies to Ms. Duffy each day

Hello Everyone,

We had a great day today!

They were wonderful in Mass.


I am sending home Test Folders today.
Please review the papers, correct papers (if I mark the paper Fix), empty the folder (keep all papers unless your child had to fix anything), sign the sheet in the folder (you can write a positive comment), and return the folder.

In the folder is  Fluency Check p. 22 

The first column lets you know your child sounded out or read the word correctly.

The second column let you know if they could read the word without sounding it out. They knew the word by looking at it.

Here are the Spelling words for next week:

1  in

2  fin

3  if

4  big

5  pig  

6  is

7  it

8  hit

9  sit

10 to

*Monday is Art Class. Please send in the Art supplies Ms. Duffy asked for each week.

**There are some problems with Google Classroom. I will still email until the problems are sorted out.

Have a great Weekend!
