Dear Families,
It has been three fantastic weeks of first grade! We are already on day 12! We are still working on procedures and rules, and everyone is trying their best. We're still getting used to the longer day of first grade, and getting better each day. :)
Great News! We have a Music Teacher and a second PE Coach, starting the week of September 10th! We will have Music on Tuesdays and PE on Thursdays (Coach Justin) and Fridays (Rhythm and Moves Coach, I will know their name soon).
I will send home homework packet #2 on Tuesday. We will work on the Word of the Week in class on Tuesday.
Today we had our first PE Class with Coach Justin. Ask your child what they played today. We will have PE with Coach Justin every Thursday.
We will be making Foil Art in the Makerspace Lab on Monday, September 10 at 10:45. I will need 5 parent helpers, mostly supervising students with hot glue guns. The activity will take about an hour. Please let me know if you would like to help.
Next week, I will start some of our assessments with the children for Math and Reading.
