Welcome
to First Grade!
We are so excited about
school beginning! We are looking forward to meeting you and getting to
know each of you this year! Lots of new experiences and growth await us.
We hope that you will be with us for “Back to School Night”, when we
will be able to get acquainted and answer your questions. Save the date,
Tuesday, September 14th at 7 p.m.
We are
asking the children to please bring the following supplies as soon as
possible.
Backpack (no rolling backpacks please)
Box of Kleenex
A box to hold pencils, crayons, erasers etc.
Markers (optional)
Glue sticks (optional)
(glue, scissors, crayons and pencils will be
provided)
Clorox wipes will also be much appreciated
Please
send a picture of your child, a small one, to school. We use this for
our “Student of the Week” program.
You
should include a morning and afternoon snack for your child. Snacks
should include healthy items, such as raisins, carrot sticks, celery
sticks, fruit or crackers. Please, no candy, soda pop or gum.
P. E.
will begin next week on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Please be sure
your child wears acceptable tennis shoes on P. E. day for health and
safety reasons. It is also recommended that girls wear shorts, not
jumpers on P. E. days.
Please
return the large manila envelope your child brings home today. This will
be your child’s Monday homework envelope.
Thank you
for your cooperation and interest, and we look forward to working with
you this year.
Thank
you,
Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Graham
