Dear Families,

 

I hope you are enjoying summer!

 

It's almost time for a new school year to begin and I'm looking forward to an exciting year! I can't wait to see you on Wednesday, August 14th!

Supplies:

I have purchased most of the school supplies. Your child might be more comfortable with their headphones (labeled) with a cord (no wireless), however, I also have headphones students may use.
We could always use: Baby wipes, kleenex, and hand sanitizer.

Schedule:

First Grade starts at 8:15 am and ends at 2:40 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. *Wednesdays* are modified and students will be dismissed at 1:15 pm.

 

Snack, Lunch, and Water:

We take a 20-minute "Snack Break" recess at 10:30 every morning.  I highly recommend you provide your child with their own snack to optimize their playtime. Lunch is at 12:10 and students have an option to bring a lunch from home or get a lunch from the cafeteria. Please send your first grader to school with a water bottle (labeled) that fits in their backpack and has a good seal. *It's good for your child to practice filling their water bottle and tightening the lid at home.

 

Back to School Night:

Back to School Night (For adults) is on Wednesday, August 28. 

 

I'm looking forward to meeting you and your family this year!

Weekly Updates

 Please find our weekly updates here: bit.ly/Bergman2021DL

September 7, 2020

 Dear Families,

I hope you are staying cool this weekend.  It was our anniversary yesterday, so we decided to sneak away to Lake Tahoe for a couple days. Your children are doing a wonderful job doing Distance Learning.  I know it’s not easy, and I appreciate all of them and your efforts.

This week’s theme is “Think Like a Scientist.” Here are the Weekly Plans. 

Math Groups:

We will start practicing math groups this week. Math is from 10:20-11:20 am. This time slot will be split into 2 groups. Group 1 will meet with me first while group 2 will work on lessons in Seesaw & Zearn. Then we will switch at 10:50 am so I can meet with group 2. The groups are not skill-based groups yet. These groups will allow me to get to know your child’s math skills better. Here are our Math Groups for this week.

***Reading Assessment: 

Please help your child find a very quiet space to record themselves reading & retelling a passage on the Literably app to do their Reading Assessment from 12-1 pm this Wednesday:  Literably app. I will show them how to do the assessment during our zoom class on Wednesday morning. If your child attends daycare at that time, please find another time within the week for your child to complete the assessment. Please complete this by Friday evening.  If you need more time, please let me know.

School Supply Pick-up, 9/14: 

Monday, 9/14 is another supply pick up day from 12-1 pm for all first graders. Drive through the main parking lot to your teacher’s table and pick up the next month’s school supplies. 

Reflex Math App:

If your child has a personal device, NOT a school device:  Please download the Reflex Math Facts App. We will be using this app starting Monday, 9/14. This is what the app looks like: 

Parent-Teacher Conferences: 

Sign up for October conferences: Fall Conference Sign-Ups sent via email. I will share my assessment data with you and address concerns you may have. 

Thank you for your continued support and flexibility.

Important Dates:

Monday, September 14: First Grade Supplies Pick Up from 12-1

10/1-10/9: Parent-Teacher Conferences via Zoom

Friday, October 16: Staff Day, No School

Monday, October 19: No School

August 30, 2020

 Dear Families,

Here are our Weekly Plans.  I will continue to push out the plans in Seesaw-Activities, for students to work on, based on this schedule.  Remember it will take us some time to develop a routine. I will post all our weekly lessons here, this link is also located on my email signature.  

This week we will start small group practice starting at 12:20 after Read to Self.  They will run for about 20-30 minutes. We will start with one small group per day this week.  Here are our groups for the week. Please note that these groups are not permanent and children may move into different groups. When your child is not working with me, they should be working on the Afternoon Work - independent work.  I will be available for office hours before and after each small group this week.  I will also keep these on our Weekly Lessons Page.

A note on BrainPopJr.: Students should log into the Clever app first, then click Brainpop Jr. so that their device remembers their login. Then students can then click on the link in Seesaw which will take them to the linked lesson.

I hope you are enjoying your Sunday.
