First Grade Homework Sheet
Week of Sept. 5, 2011
I believe we had a successful first week of school. The students and I are getting to know each other and learning the policies and procedures of our class. At the beginning of every year I am reminded of the extreme honor given to me by you parents to take part in your child’s learning and development. I thank each of you in advance for this honor and I look forward to working with you to make this the best year ever!
This week we will be starting our Spelling Lists. The third page of this packet is a copy of Lists 1-5. I do not send home a new list each week so please keep this in a safe place for the next five weeks.
Each night’s homework will include copying these words a certain number of times. Please have your child copy these words neatly on writing paper (any kind) at home each night and return the words with the next day’s homework. That will mean that usually each day your student will be returning two pages of homework. Make sure to return only the required assignment each day. Last week there were several students who did not have completed homework and this week I will start giving orange cards for incomplete or missing homework.
The next page of this packet is your GradeLink login information and username and password. I will be posting the first grades of the year next weekend and every weekend after that and will return graded papers every Monday starting next week.
PE will begin this Tuesday and students should wear proper PE uniform every Tuesday. Of course, if your student did not wear PE uniform today, he/she will not be penalized because this is the first day.
This Thursday is Back-to-School Night at 6:00p.m. This is a night for parents (adults) only so please make arrangements for your children to stay at home. If you have to bring your child, he/she will have to sit outside the classroom in the hall so perhaps bring them a book to read or something to occupy them. I will be going over a lot of information about my policies and procedures, as well as, the year’s curriculum, important dates, and events. Remember this is an evening for adults only please!
Picture Day is Monday, September 12th! All students should be in full uniform of course. Blue or white shirts are acceptable, but no PE shirts. Remember to send back the picture envelope which went home last Friday!!!
