Week of 9/13

Dear Parent/s,

Welcome to our Classroom Blog! We are so excited to start our first full week of first grade! We have a lot of fun things planned so keep checking our classroom blog for updates and pictures of what is going on in Room 19!

Here are a few reminders for this week:

- Please be sure to check your child's "Home Folder" every night. You can empty out any papers that were completed in school and you may keep the homework paper at home as well. These will be in the "Home" side of the folder. If anything needs to be signed or turned in, please place it in the "To school" side. I ask that your child's behavior calendar (please initial the calendar each night), homework (if a worksheet) and Magic Words envelope be returned each day.

- An "All About Me" project will be sent home today. Please complete this with your child. it will be due next Monday, September 21st.

- There will be no tests this week.

- We will be celebrating Mass on Thursday at 9:00am. All are welcome to join us!

- I need a Mystery Reader for this Thursday, 9/17 and the following Thursdays in October: 10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22 and 10/29. Please email me if any of those dates work for you!

- Friday will be a Dress Down day. Please send in $1.00 with your child. Please also review the dress down day policy in the school handbook :).

- Please email me with any questions or concerns :)

Thanks!
Miss Tosti
