First Grade Homework Sheet

Week of Jan. 16, 2012

        This is another busy week for First Grade.  On Thursday, Jan. 19 I will be hosting our First Grade Parent Education Night in our classroom at 6:00p.m. until 7:00p.m.  Ms. Forbush will be hosting the Second Grade in her room at the same time.  This will be a “Family Reading Night” format so I would like parents, siblings, first graders, etc. to attend.  Please bring your favorite books from home to read and pillows/blankets to get cozy on the floor to share special reading time!  I will be presenting reading strategies I use in the classroom with lots of hints on how to make your student a better reader.  I will have handouts and reading lists and other goodies to take home.  I hope to see you all Thursday night.  With that in mind, I have scheduled Thursday as a no homework night so hopefully many of you can attend.

        The other big event this week is the Jog-A-Thon on Friday, Jan. 20.  Every student who participates must have a signed sponsor sheet Friday morning.  These went home in the Jan. newsletter, but if you need another one, you can get one off the website or from the office.  Participants may wear free dress that day with closed-toe running type shoes, of course.  If you do not want your child to participate, that is fine; he/she must wear full uniform that day and will stay inside with the teacher supervisor.
