Week of 9/10



Dear Parents,

Welcome to our Classroom Blog! We are so excited to start our first full week of first grade and it was great seeing you all last week at Back to School Night! 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! You will be receiving a second email with a link to sign up for updates and info about our class using the Remind app.

Here are a few reminders for this week:

- These first few weeks of school are very important for setting expectations and learning our classroom routines and procedures. Students thrive in environments where they feel comfortable and know what is expected of them. I urge you to also have expectations and routines at home for things like completing homework, studying and reading. For example, each day after school your child can eat a snack, take out their homework copybook and begin their homework. You can even have a set place for them to complete their work. Simple things like this will help your child to become responsible, organized and independent!

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

- We will have homework this week so start your homework routine today/tonight!

- Journals need to be decorated and covered by Friday, September 21st.

- I need Mystery Readers for the following Thursdays from 2:00-2:30 in September: 9/13, 9/20, and 9/27. Please email me if you are available!

- On Friday, we will be having out One Book, One School Book Club. We will be talking about "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" and making a craft with our 8th Grade Buddies! If you would like to send your child in with their book that would be great! Thank 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
