This week, I hope to get more routines established!! Last week we got to know each other and learned a lot about what first grade is going to be like. I think it went well!!
This week I am sending home a spelling list. These should be studied for a test on Friday.
There is an open house at the library: September 19 from 9-1 to celebrate its 20 year anniversary. There will be door prizes, refreshments, a special story hour and a craft starting at 10. Hope to see you there!
I see that many of you have logged onto Class DoJo! I use this for students to earn points to spend on coupons and a class store. You can check it daily to see what your child has earned points for or lost points for. If you have any questions, you can contact me through Class DoJo, email, or phone.
Next week we will be bringing home reading folders daily. These are books that your child has had in his/her book box. Please have your child read the book to you and then sign that it has happened. Your child will receive a stamp on his/her reading log and also earn a DoJo point. Once your child has read 25 books at home, he/she will bring 2 books home!! Every 25 books read, your child gets to go to the prize jar!! Reading at home is super important in first grade. Practice makes great readers!!
We have 5 caterpillars in our classroom that we are watching transform! One is a chrysalis already and this morning when we got her we had a mother one in a J. Stay tuned for more from our butterfly garden!!
