Open House

Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me for Open House. I enjoyed talking with you and sharing what we do in our class. As always, if you have any questions please feel free to email me or write a note in your child's GATOR book.

This week we visited the Science Lab and reviewed the rules and practice with some tool. Coming up we will be working on weather tools. Please consider joining the Addison Foundation if you haven't already. They fund the Science Lab which the children really enjoy.







Many of your students said Friday was the best thing about school. On Fridays, we have Free Friday activities after morning work. Take a peek at what that looks like and you'll know why Friday's are the best!




Have a super weekend!

First Week of First Grade

We made it through the first week of first grade! This week we spent a lot of time going over our classroom and school rules and procedures. Our class rules are Be respectful, be responsible, be helpful, and be safe. The students came up with a list of how we can show each of the "Be's".

Thank you for signing and returning GATOR books. This is a very important part of our routine. Students will write something we did in class and mark their behavior each day. Please ask them about what they have written.

In reading we are working on building our independent stamina. The students are doing great! We have made it to 9 minutes without disruption. In math we have been graphing.

Open House will be next Thursday at 5:00. See you then! Have a great weekend
