Happy Thursday!

I was overjoyed and ecstatic to have your students in class this week! It has been so nice getting to know them!

This Week:

  • We:
    • Read some great stories: First Day Jitters, How to Get Your Teacher Ready, Have You Filled a Bucket Today?, Amelia Bedelia’s First Day of School
      • They also wrote their own stories about how they would get their teacher ready.
    • Discussed their bags and got to learn about each other, as well as played 2 Truths 1 Lie and 4 Corners
    • Began reviewing our math facts with some addition coloring sheets
    • Learned about sharks and began talking about science

Next Week:

  • We will begin our Math & English curriculum.
  • Our spelling words for next week:
    • has, wag, bad, six, will, sat, had, fix, him, if, can, hit, why, for, help
      • We will be having a review test on Friday. These are practice tests as they will be opening up the test and reviewing their missed words, but any support you can give them at home is huge. 🙂

If you weren’t able to attend Open House or forgot to pick up my Parent Letter here is some helpful hints that I think will make the start of the school year go smoothly.

  • SNACKS, WATER & LUNCH: Students should bring a reusable water bottle, healthy lunch and snacks. We will have a PM snack and lunch at 11am. We are a NO SUGAR and NO NUT school (including: peanut butter, Nutella, trail mix or granola bars with almonds or peanuts…). We do have a hot lunch option. Please see Mrs. Laramie’s emails for a link. Please note that there are no microwaves available for student use. Lastly, students must bring any utensils that they may need.
  • TOYS, BLANKETS, FIDGETS & STUFFIES: Please refrain from allowing your student to bring any in as it can be a distraction from work. There will be special days when the kids can bring them. I will always let you know!
  • FIELD TRIPS: We will be going on two Field Trips this year. If you want to chaperone (OR VOLUNTEER IN THE CLASSROOM), you MUST get your fingerprint clearance card prior. They take weeks to come in, so please plan ahead.
  • BIRTHDAYS: We love celebrating birthdays, but do not allow sweets (cupcakes, donuts, cookies…) or balloons. Small prize-like toys are great or fruit snacks, goldfish…
  • HOMEWORK: We encourage all of our students to read for at least 20 minutes every night. I will also be assigning homework (including: fun ELA & math games) on their Google Classroom (more information to follow).

I am very much looking forward to another wonderful week! Do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions that you may have!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Sibley
