Welcome to 1st grade!
Welcome to Week 4 This week we will continue learning Spalding words Please go over the words with your scholars and have them practice using those words in a sentence. Last Friday we took our very first Spelling Test and the Kiddoos were a bit nervous. Remind them when studying to maybe give them some ways to remember those words. We will also Start going to the library very soon as well. Parents, if possible, can you please go over playground etiquette and how to be kind and respect other people's space when playing thank you guys, we hope everyone has a great week!
Important Information:
- Scholars with Upper School siblings (who wait in the MPR at carline) must have a silent reading book everyday with them or in their backpack.
- Please make sure your scholar packs a snack everyday so they can refresh their energy. It doesn't have to be a big snack but just something to tie them over till lunch time.
- Scholars have Math and Spalding Homework daily except for Fridays so please make sure you are checking their black folders daily for homework and math workbook and reading the agendas.
- Please send your scholar with a water bottle to school every day so they can stay hydrated.
