A Big Welcome Back To  School, and Welcome to First Grade!  Look for the web page each week along with our Monday letter to give you important information.  Today, lots of information is coming home in the red folders.  Please carefully read it all, and return all necessary fees, and information in the red folder. We will be sending the text books home to cover.  Please return them the next day as we use them daily. Tomorrow (Wednesday) is PE.  You only need to send the sneakers into school in the book bag.  Please do not wear them. Also send a small snack each day this week.

Everyday we have Math, Religion, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Writing & Language Arts.  Twice a week we switch for Social Studies and Science. Once a week we have Music, Computers, PE, Art and Library.

·        Please spend some time practicing the D'Nealian Handwriting, especially if your child is having difficulty. 

·        As Math Facts are introduced, please buy some Flash Cards and work on these at home or while driving in the car.

·        Good ideas when you read include: Please ask comprehension questions: Who; What; Where; Why; When.  Have them predict what might happen on the next page. Talk about character values in the story.  Ask them does anything in the story remind them of anything in their lives.  Get them expressing their ideas.
