Our day is 8:15 - 2:30 everyday except Tuesday. Tuesday is 8:15 - 1:00
We are anxiously awaiting our "Specials Schedule"! Sneakers are expected in PE days.
I give a monthly reading log that I will explain more at Curriculum night. The basic principle behind this is that reading is VERY IMPORTANT in first grade. Many children are just beginning to read in first grade and the more they practice - the better and more fluent they become.
I like to assign a set number of days to read ( i.e. 20) and let you and your child figure out which days work best in your schedule. I am expecting first graders and parents to share in the reading time - 15 minutes or more. It is always wonderful to let your child read first and then let him/her listen to you read afterwards.
We have a daily snack time in the morning - please send in one snack and 1 drink for your child - and if they need a spoon or fork - please send that too. Drinking water throughout the day is important. If you would like your child to keep a water bottle in class, that's great. If not, we have water fountains close by.
