Pick up a packet in the front office. If you volunteered last year, check with the office to make sure your file is still current. This includes chaperoning on field trips.

4. Homework is a reinforcement of skills that have already been introduced in class. It is beneficial to your child if they are practicing a little bit each day. This should normally be no more than 15 minutes a day. Homework will include: MATH: IXL or a math common core wkst READING: Lightning words AR reading Reading common core worksheet WRITING: Spelling City Please contact me if you have further questions.

7. SNACKS AND BIRTHDAY TREATS Your child is welcome to bring a healthy snack for the morning recess at 10:00 am. Some ideas are: pretzels, animal crackers, goldfish, granola bars, individual cheese and cracker packs fruit and raisins. Birthday treats are always welcome. They must be store bought. Cupcakes are a popular choice. Please consider the mini cupcakes. Popcicles, Rice Krispy treats, or Little Debbie snacks are also popular. PLEASE LIMIT CHOICE. Please let your child’s teacher know when you are planning to provide this treat. It helps us plan our snack recess accordingly. Some other NON-food ideas are: pencils, stickers or other small items. We do not have an afternoon recess this year.

8. MORNING ARRIVAL The playground gates open at 7:45. Students will line up at 8:05. School begins at 8:10. Students should not be in the building before 8:05. Late arrivals need to get a slip from the office to come to class. Rise to the Challenge!

9. ACCELERATED READING (AR) Every first grader will be doing AR this year. This is an area where we would like volunteers. Volunteers would help students log on and read the questions to some of the students. AR is a comprehension based program. After students read their AR book, they will take a comprehension test on the computer. The test will range from 5 to 10 questions depending on the length and difficulty of the book. Most books will need to be read 2 to 4 times before the students will take a test. Tests are taken at school while the reading is done at home.

10. IXL IXL will be a component of our Math homework this year. We will provide the sections that they should be working on each week. This is also something that we will use as intervention and enrichment in class. Logins and passwords will be sent home soon.

11. COMMUNICATION The best way to reach your child’s teacher: Email Voicemail Notes Ways your child’s teacher will communicate with you: Newsletter Websites Email Daily behavior sheet (a monthly calendar) Notes (please check folders daily) Pride in the Pack
