Parent-Teacher Conferences

Thank you SO much for such a great turn out at Parent-Teacher Conferences!  We had 100% of ROOM 122  families in our classroom connect with me for conferences!  You are all such a great group of families!!!!!  I feel very fortunate to be part of your child's success!

Curriculum Night

It was so nice to see some of our Faubion First Grade Families at Curriculum Night tonight!  I know there was a lot of information given to you in a short amount of time!  I'll work on downloading the power point to this post soon!

Many families were able to sign up for conferences tonight.  If you were not able to make it, I will be getting in touch to let you know which times are still available.

Fall is in Full Swing!

           

 Room 122 has been WONDERFUL!!!  The children are

 really working hard and doing a great job!  We continue

 to work on rules and routines, but I am very happy with

 the progress we’ve made so far.  Math and reading

 continue to be big parts of our days.   This week we

 start our first science unit, all about INSECTS!!!  October  

 is a busy month!  Please take a moment to check out

Curriculum Night

We hope to see you at Curriculum Night!!  Please join us on Wednesday, October 14, from 5:00-7:30.  There are many great reasons to attend, including signing up for parent/teacher conferences and learning about the curriculum that will be addressed this school year.  I’m looking forward to seeing you all there.

Homework

Homework is turned in on Fridays in the homework folder. New Homework is given on Mondays. Please have your child practice the high frequency (rainbow) words nightly.  This will help so much with both reading and writing skills at school! You can use the KIDS A-Z books for the reading log. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with homework.

Book Orders

Once a month, I will add book order forms to the homework folder.  If you would like to order books, please fill out the order form and return it in the homework folder along with a check (make it out to Scholastic) or cash by the end of the week:)

Specials Schedule

Every week, our first graders have PE, music, library and art.  These are special times for our class to enrich our learning at school.  Please make sure your child wears tennis shoes on Wednesday and Thursday on PE days.  Also, please be sure that your child returns their library books no later than Thursday of each week.  These books are a great addition for the reading log. 

Contact Information

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have.
