First Grade

We are off to a great start! The children are settling in and becoming used to their new daily routine. We have started lessons and will continue to work hard. 

Our class mascot Ted E. Bear is beginning his journey this week. Every Friday Ted will go home with a different child for the weekend and return to school on Monday. I ask that you complete a journal entry telling some fun things you may have done with Ted. Please take care of him and if there are younger siblings protect him from harm.
 
I have decided to use Class Dojo with the kids. I assigned each child and avatar and explained the process of earning points for positive behavior and losing points for behavior that needs work. You can download the app on your phone and stay connected with your child’s progress as I will link the email you provided me with to your child’s avatar. You will only see your child an no others. I can also post pictures in this app and share with you things we are doing in the class. So please download it and connect with us.
 
Just a reminder that all supplies/forms/notebook money are due in school. Please make sure that everything is handed in.
