Lexia Reading Core 5 Program: It is very helpful for you child to work in this program each day at home. This is a self directed program that helps your child with reading and spelling skills.

travel to each home daily soon. Enjoy reading the book together as a family and
help your child remember to bring it back the following day.
Word Wall Words: Your children will learn 5 new word wall words each week and
together we will put them on our Word Wall. Listed below are the word wall
words from Kindergarten and the 5 new ones. It is my hope that you will make a
word wall at home or make flashcards to practice daily with your child. This
will help your child with reading, writing, and spelling.

Grammar: We
will focus on starting each sentence with a capital letter and the correct
punctuation.
Mystery Person: Each day we will have fun discovering who is going to be the
Mystery Person. This engaging activity helps students learn about their new
classmates as well as practice reading, writing and spelling. Look for your
child's Mystery Person book to come home!
Math: Our
focus this week is skip counting, composing and decomposing numbers to 10,
counting on and making pattern predictions.
Reminders:
*Please help your children remember to bring their back pack to
school each day with their red class folder. If the folder gets
misplaced, you may buy them a new of their chose.
*Help your child remember to bring a small snack each day to be
eaten during the first recess.

Dear Families,
Welcome to first grade and to Room 4! I've been working to get the classroom ready for your children and look forward to getting started with school on Wednesday. I'm excited to see many familiar families on my roster and look forward to meeting the new ones.
The following will help smooth out first day jitters:
- Before school, make sure your child knows how they will be going home and where they will meet you at the end of the day. Make sure this information is written on the "Going Home" chart on the window.
- My room will be open around 7:50.
- Have your child leave their lunch outside the classroom.
- Find their name and hang backpack on hook.
- Say your goodbyes and have your child sit down at their desk.
- You should receive a packet of papers on the first day of school, please send it back ASAP.
- As parents, enjoy your first day of first grade and celebrate your child's independence!
The following day and everyday thereafter, the children will keep their backpacks with them and go directly up to the playground. There is yard duty supervision beginning at 7:30 on the lower playground if you arrive early. After the second week of school, to help your child become an independent first grader. It is our hope and expectation that your child will join their classmates upstairs before the first bell rings. In the event of rain, they will go to the MPR before school starts.
I am looking forward to a fantastic year!
