General Information
Snacks:
As a reminder, please provide snack for the entire class on your designated day. (noted on the calendar) I would prefer if student did not bring juice into the classroom for snack time because it tends to attract ants. They can still drink them in the cafeteria as part of their packed lunch.
Arrival and Dismissal:
Students will do directly to the cafeteria or gym in the morning. Students will be dismissed from these areas to the classroom at 7:45 A.M. Students will be dismissed in the afternoon at 2:40 P.M. in the front of the building. Parents are asked to wait outside. We will bring the students to you or their name will be called to enter the car.
B.I.R.D Folder:
Your child will be bringing a blue folder home daily and it will need to be checked by you and returned the next day. Inside there will be designated areas such as homework, communication log, behavior report, graded papers, etc. Please help your child learn this important part of being a responsible student.
Homework:
First graders do not generally have much homework unless they need more practice, did not do their work in school or have been absent. There will however be occasional homework and your child will know that this should be returned. Please have your child to read at least 15 minutes each night.
Spelling: Will not begin until October. Your child will be able to select three choices from the list inside the B.I.R.D folder with their spelling list.
Recess:
We will have recess everyday. Our recess time is not until 1:50 P.M. please dress your child according to the weather forecast.
Enrichment:
We will have P.E. once a week. Mr. Friedman asks that you have your child to wear tennis shoes on that day. Please review the calendar for what day we will have P.E. Other Enrichment classes will be Music and Art.
