Welcome to 1st Grade!

2011-09-09T00:28:00.000-07:00

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to 1st Grade! My name is Ms.Kehoe and I look forward to being your teacher this year. Our new home will be in Room 8 for the 2011-12 school year.

We have lots of learning and lots of fun planned for this year. We will dive into our new Treasures reading program. Reading is the focus of our year. We will become experts in Math and develop our conceptual understanding about numbers and patterns and master our addition/subtraction facts. The theme for Social Studies is "Our Place in Time and Space". The Science curriculum will begin with a unit on Solids and Liquids. We will practice good writing strategies and incorporate as much art, music and dance as we can into everything we learn. I can't wait to learn about what makes each of you unique!

Our school provides most of the items we need for the school year. I have pencil boxes for the desks with pencils, erasers, crayons, scissors and glue. I like to keep these items uniform as it helps with classroom organization and a cramped desk space. I will provide a homework folder. The children will receive a weekly homework packet that they take home on Monday and return on Friday. However, the homework folder needs to be brought back daily so that we can send home any necessary notices. The first homework packet will be sent home Monday, September 12th. Please be sure to have your child write his/her name at the top. A parent signature is also required before returning. If you would like to purchase your own homework folder or if the one you have been provided with goes missing, please do replace it. The sturdy plastic folders usually work much better than the paper ones.

On an easel outside our classroom, I will post a calendar and wish list. Please check on occasion. This week, there will be lots of wish list items. If you would like to volunteer in the classroom, please write your name on the specific date you plan to be there and the times you wish to come. If you are a volunteer who is able to help by taking work home, please see me. There are many ways to help out in Room 8 and I am so grateful for your time. Thank you!

I look forward to meeting all of you. I know that by working together we will be able to make your child's school experience a positive one. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Back-To-School-Night will be held September 27th.

Sincerely,
Ms.Kehoe
