Welcome to a new
school year and a new grade for your child!
Take-home
folder - The take home folder contains the papers your child has completed (and corrected) this
week. I will be sending this home each
Thursday for you to familiarize yourself with your child’s weekly work. Please sign the communication log
each week and write any comments, questions, or concerns you might have (optional). Please send the folder (and log sheet) back
to school with your child the next day (usually Friday). I am hopeful this method will keep you in
touch with your child’s progress in first grade.
Special's Schedule - Parents often like
to know some of the first grade schedule.
Every Wednesday is Liturgy in
our gym at 9:15 a.m., which you are always welcome to attend. Physical
Education (P.E.) will be on Monday and Thursday (Please help your child
remember to wear their tennis shoes on those days. They could even leave an old pair in our
classroom closet). Music will be on Tuesday and Friday. Sharing
Time is on Friday (please read the sharing tab carefully). Library
checkout has been scheduled for Tuesday.
Your child should return their library books to checkout 1 more
book.
Spelling - Your child will
begin spelling next week. The number of spelling words will vary during the school year. We begin the year with 6 words. Usually the
pretest is given on Monday. Look for
these papers in your child’s schoolbag as they are responsible for learning the
spelling list by Friday of each week. We
practice in the room, but they need to practice at home as well (homework!).
School Doors - The outside doors
to our school will be locked during the school day. You can come into the school through the
front doors after ringing the bell and check in the office.
Email - You are always
welcome to email me (alevine@crestonstmalachy.org) with thoughts or
concerns. If you are informing me of a
change in your child’s schedule that day, you need to call the office as I do
not always check my email during the school day. Any
time your child’s after school plans change, you need to send a note or call/email Mrs. Sanchez in the office.
Handwriting - In your child's folder is a copy of the handwriting chart that I teach in first grade. This method is called the Zaner-Bloser method
of handwriting. Please encourage your
child to use this method at home.
Religion - Mrs. Meisenheimer (the 2nd grade teacher) is also the 1st grade religion teacher. She has a blog page with a 1st grade religion tab that has information. You can access her blog either from my blog (There is a link on the right hand side) or the St. Malachy website. Be sure to check it out today as she has posted some of the prayers your child is expected to know.
