Welcome to 1st Grade!
I would like to welcome my students and their parents to first grade! I genuinely could not be more excited about this school year. I am positive that we are going to have a wonderful year full of learning. I strongly encourage all parents to contact me with any questions and/or concerns. The more communication that there is between school and home, the more beneficial it will be for your child.

Weekly Homework
30 minutes of reading daily! Please fill out your child's reading log every night. I will collect these and "log" their steps* on Fridays. For each 100 steps, your child will receive a medal!
*One step is equal to 15 minutes of reading. We are not counting the number of books your child reads this year, we are counting the amount of time that your child reads :)

School Supplies
Students will be given all supplies that they need this year in school. We will be using flexible seating this year, which means that we will all be sharing community supplies. Because the students will not have their own individual supplies and work space, I would prefer that they keep all other school supplies at home. It would be a great idea to set up a "homework" area at home where they can keep all extra supplies. We are really going to be working on organization and independence this year.
Snacks
We will have a snack time each afternoon around 3:00. If you would like your child to purchase a white or chocolate snack milk, please be sure to keep his/her cafeteria account in good standing.
Home/School Folders
Your child will bring home a "Home/School Folder" each night. One side of the folder will be for things that need to be kept at home, and the other side will be for homework or other things to be returned to school. Please check this folder nightly with your child.
