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.
August 21st is Back to School Night for Parents. We 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.
