Welcome to 1A!
Wow I cannot believe summer is over and the school year has started! We have a busy but fun year planned! As many of you know I had my baby over the summer. To the left is her picture. I will be in the classroom for the first week and return Monday, October 25, 2010. However, we have a wonderful guest teacher joining the 1A team! Her name is Mrs. Dekreon. I will be working with her closely and I will be coming in weekly to help plan and to complete assessments on students. If you have any questions please feel free to call me or send an email. I look forward to working with you and your child throughout the school year.
Please check 1A's webpage regularly for up to date information!
I will be checking my email almost everyday. That is a great way for me to answer your questions.

Homework Procedure
In order to keep all of our work organized we need to have a specific homework procedure in First Grade. Each student will receive a red take home folder with two pockets. One pocket is for things that are to stay at home (handouts, finished work, Highlights), and the other pocket is for things that need to be returned the next day (homework, permission slips).
Every student will get a homework packet and a reading log on Monday. Everyday the students will need to return the reading log section of the homework. The homework packet will include practice work and a mini book that can be read at home. The homework packet can be done at the parents’ discretion and is due every Friday.
Students must complete their reading log every night and parents/ guardians must sign it every night in order for the students to get credit.
