Scholastic Book Orders

Each month your child will be bringing home Scholastic Book Club flyers. If you choose to order you may do so online or you can fill in the form on the back of the flyer and send in a check. When you visit the Scholastic website you will have the opportunity to search a larger variety of flyers. You may order from other grade levels as well. To place your order online click here.  If you are ordering this month, please have your order in no later than October 19th. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please also let me know if your order is a gift and I will contact you to pick it up at school.

What a Great Start!

We have had a wonderful start to the new school year. Our class is settling in to the routines and procedures of first grade. We are working on getting to know each other and building a family of learners. I can't wait to spend the year having fun and learning with each child.

Thank you to each parent that was able to attend our open house this past week. If you were not able to attend, please check your child's folder for the handouts that were handed out.

A view from our door. You can see many of our flexible seating option in our classroom. These include cushions, low table, scoop chairs, wobble seats, stools, carpet spots, yoga balls, leaning tables, floor spots, and standing spots.

Our carpet spot. This is where all of the magic happens in our classroom. We gather here several times throughout the day. This is where most of our instruction takes place.

Kindergarten Sight Word Review

Below you will find the Kindergarten sight words that your child learned last year.  During the last few weeks of summer vacation I would appreciate it if you would practice these words with your child. Students should be able identify them automatically and spell them.
