What a great first week of school! Your first grader has been learning many new routines for room 1 and rules for the primary playground. Your child is probably feeling a bit tired after school due to transitioning to a longer school day and getting back to a school schedule. It usually takes a few weeks, but they'll feel better adjusted soon!
I usually send home a Bear Print Weekly Newsletter via email, if you need a hard copy, please let me know. Please see our first Bear Print attached. I will also post a copy to our Class webpage. Which is under Classroom Pages, then under First Grade.

Our school district has purchased Solar Eclipse Glasses for every student in the district! Although we are not in the Path of Totality, we will be able to see about 75% around 11:15 AM, therefore we have planned to have inside recess on Monday. In class we will talk about viewing the eclipse and how to properly use our safety glasses. I will be taking small groups of our students outside to view the eclipse using the Solar Eclipse Glasses. Please remind your child that we should never look at the sun with our eyes, and that the solar rays are even stronger during an eclipse (we will also discuss this in class).
August 23rd is Back to School Night for Parents. We will meet in room 1, at 7:15 pm to go over First Grade throughout the year. Before our meeting, there is a Principal's Welcome and AV Home and School Club meeting in the Cafeteria from 6:45-7:15. If you have children in 4th or 5th grade, their classroom presentations will begin at 6:00.
At Back To School Night, I will need you to review and make any necessary changes to your child’s Emergency Contact Information. If you will not be able to make it on Wednesday, please let me know and I will send the form home with your child.
Just in case you need our Home and School Club's website, it has a lot of information about upcoming events at school. http://www.avhsc.org/
Thank you for sending me all your email addresses! If you need to add or eliminate any addresses, please let me know.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
