Happy Long Weekend!

I hope you are enjoying your long weekend with your kids!

Just a couple of things before next week:

-We will be starting all of our reading and math curriculum next week and trying to get the kids into the daily routine.

-Your child will have homework Tuesday and Wednesday night this week only.
*Tuesday night homework: Please read the story with your child and help them answer the questions on the back and return it Wednesday morning.
*Wednesday night homework: Please read the attached note for the homework. In first grade we expect the use of details in their pictures, and the use of at LEAST 5 colors. We also begin to expect that your child use correct colors for hair and any other items they may include in their pictures. The pictures do not have to be works of art, but they need to follow the guidelines. Their sentences need to be complete with a capital letter at the beginning and the correct end mark and they must write at LEAST 3 sentences.

-Please remember if you have not sent in the transportation, health, technology, or any other forms that you received, in yet they need to be in as soon as possible.

-If you have any trouble signing up for Class Dojo or Remind 101, just let me know and I will do my best to help you out.

-Please send your child to school with a snack from the approved snack list daily. We do not provide snack in first grade as they did in Kindergarten.

-If you send in any lunch money, please send it in a baggie or envelope and write what it is for on it. I would hate for the money to get lost or for me to not know who gave it to me and what it was for. It must be labeled in order to get it to the right place.

-If you plan on changing your child's transportation, you must send a note with your child or call the office or your child will be sent home the way you indicated at the beginning of the year.

-If you plan on sending your child home on the regular yellow school bus or are picking them up and they normally attend an after school activity, please let not only me know, but also the after school program that your child isn't going home that way. They have them on their list unless you notify them and it helps the process if we are not trying to find what bus the child is supposed to be on.

I think that is it for now. As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! :)

Have a great rest of your weekend!
