First Grade ([email protected])
The Month of September
Benchmark assessments will be administered through September 26th. Please help by making sure students are well rested and at school on time. We want them to do their best so we will know how to meet the needs of each and every child during instruction. Reading, writing and comprehension along with familiarity of numbers will be the focus.
Once assessing is complete we will start reading groups. We will work on building their baskets up with books and then start sending them home every night. They will bring the same book home 2 nights.
Please send in a photograph with your child by Friday, September 9th. Examples: photo of visiting the zoo, opening presents swimming, etc. Students will use the photo as inspiration for writing a narrative story. If at all possible, we would like to keep the photo until the end of the year. Thank you!
Please send in a list of topics your child could write about in writer’s workshop or morning work. This helps when they get stuck on what to write about. Their trip to the beach, Disney, the park, Grandma’s house, a baseball game, etc…
Our Teachey Tiger Fun Run, fundraiser, kicks off September 7th with a Pep Rally. Please help us raise money for new playground equipment.
-September 26- Family Appreciation Dinner and Parent Meeting… 5-6 dinner and 6:-6:45 presentation.
Please wear appropriate shoes everyday even though we may not have PE. We will have recess outside if not raining.
