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
