Week of August 20, 2018

Dear Families,

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 will email you our Weekly Newsletter on Friday (or sometimes during the weekend).  I will also post a copy to our Class Blog.  You can connect to the Blog through our school website, by going to Classroom Pages, then under First Grade, then Staff, and then click on my name.

I will send home our 1st weekly homework packet on Friday, August 24th and it will be due the following week on Friday.  Homework is usually due on Fridays, however, because of the long weekend, please return this first packet on either Thursday, August 30th or Tuesday, September 4th.

August 22rd is Back to School Night for ParentsWe will meet in room 1, at 6:00 pm to go over First Grade throughout the year.  After 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 7:15.

Just in case you need our Home and School Club's website, it has a lot of information about upcoming events at school. 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.

Here are some pictures from today’s Marshmallow Design.  =)

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
