Notices and Homework for Sept. 10 to 14
Dear Parents,
These are just some important reminders:
* Please make sure sure you send in both emergency cards completely filled in and all signed sheets TOGETHER no later than this Thursday.
*Please send in $5.00 (if you have not done so) for your child's personal white board needed for Math
*Please make sure you have sent in THREE reams of blank paper. Some sent in only one, others two, and still others none. Students have already been collecting them to send to the office for copies.
*Please begin covering the books I send home. On Friday I sent home three books to be covered. Be sure you do not leave the books at home since we will be using them. Students will take home the rest this week a few at a time to get covered. Clear contact book covers found in Staples work well.
*Please make sure your child brings in 3 or 4 SHARPENED pencils every day. Two large flat pencil cases work best to hold all colored pencils, glue stick, eraser, etc. Students should keep TWO dry erase markers and a dry erase eraser in their pencil case. The rest can be kept in the bin outside.
*I will be sending home a card that will be placed in the front clear panel of each student's homework folder (THIS IS WHY THE CORRECT FOLDER IS IMPORTANT) with the web site, username, and password to access our Reading program which is www.pearsonrealize.com. Students will be taking a Base line test this week on this site and will have access to our first trade book Stellaluna as well as leveled readers and games. STUDENTS NEED TO KEEP THIS CARD IN THEIR FOLDER AND NOT LOSE IT.
*Students in first grade will begin MAP testing this week in order to diagnose you child's strengths and weaknesses at the present time.
*Homework will be assigned daily and is due the following morning. Please check the date to avoid mix-ups. Homework SHOULD NOT to done ahead of time before the lesson is taught since this often leads to confusion. In Math the homework is always patterned on the classwork done on the previous pages.

These are just some important reminders:
* Please make sure sure you send in both emergency cards completely filled in and all signed sheets TOGETHER no later than this Thursday.
*Please send in $5.00 (if you have not done so) for your child's personal white board needed for Math
*Please make sure you have sent in THREE reams of blank paper. Some sent in only one, others two, and still others none. Students have already been collecting them to send to the office for copies.
*Please begin covering the books I send home. On Friday I sent home three books to be covered. Be sure you do not leave the books at home since we will be using them. Students will take home the rest this week a few at a time to get covered. Clear contact book covers found in Staples work well.
*Please make sure your child brings in 3 or 4 SHARPENED pencils every day. Two large flat pencil cases work best to hold all colored pencils, glue stick, eraser, etc. Students should keep TWO dry erase markers and a dry erase eraser in their pencil case. The rest can be kept in the bin outside.
*I will be sending home a card that will be placed in the front clear panel of each student's homework folder (THIS IS WHY THE CORRECT FOLDER IS IMPORTANT) with the web site, username, and password to access our Reading program which is www.pearsonrealize.com. Students will be taking a Base line test this week on this site and will have access to our first trade book Stellaluna as well as leveled readers and games. STUDENTS NEED TO KEEP THIS CARD IN THEIR FOLDER AND NOT LOSE IT.
*Students in first grade will begin MAP testing this week in order to diagnose you child's strengths and weaknesses at the present time.
*Homework will be assigned daily and is due the following morning. Please check the date to avoid mix-ups. Homework SHOULD NOT to done ahead of time before the lesson is taught since this often leads to confusion. In Math the homework is always patterned on the classwork done on the previous pages.
* The link below will give you access to this week's lesson plan in case you wish to see it but may need to be modified at times as situations arise.

Important Notices for Parents of First Grade for Sept. 7 to 10
Dear Parents,
This is just a reminder that ALL supplies as well as ALL forms to be filled in or signed (given at the Parent-Teacher's Meeting) are due by MONDAY. Some parents left bags with supplies at the door with NO NAME!!! I NEED TO KNOW TO WHOM THESE BELONG so I can distribute these to the correct students. Also some parents only sent in ONE or TWO reams of blank white paper. It is necessary that each parent send in THREE packages so we have enough for copies and classwork for the entire year! Some students also did not bring in THREE folders and several did not have their notebook.
Today I distributed ten books in total. Students will be taking these home a few at a time so they can be covered at home. I sent home all book covers. Please make sure these are secure and not easily falling off. I also sent home all packages of unsharpened pencils. Students should leave these home and keep ONLY FOUR SHARPENED PENCILS IN THEIR PENCIL CASES for every day use. Students need TWO large pencil cases --not small pencil boxes. Colored pencils should be kept in one of these as well as their glue stick and TWO dry erase markers and ONE dry erase eraser. These markers and erasers are available in Dollar Tree store and Staples. The extra markers students brought in can be left in their bin outside our classroom for later use.
Please remember that you need to send in five dollars for the paddle dry erase board I will be ordering next week. These are good quality boards that will last the year and will be used DAILY. So far only six students have paid.
Gym is on Thursdays so students should wear their gym clothes and Fridays are dress down days. Students will begin using their notebooks on Monday so please make sure your child is ready! Homework will also begin on Monday so please check the blog EVERY DAY!!!!
I believe we are off to a great start but I do need your cooperation in these matters to make the transition to first grade smooth and easy for your children. Please remember to call the office and make an appointment to see me about any important matter or you can put a note in the front panel of your child's homework folder. Please put a copy of the Dolch sight words you received in this folder. Thank you for your attention. Ms. Saville
