Parent Teacher Conferences

September 27th was the night that we held Parent - Teacher conferences.  It was good to talk with almost all of the parents of my students.

Class Poetry Out Loud

You are invited to attend the annual 1^st grade Poetry Out Loud competition held on October 4th beginning at 1:30.  These competitions will be held in the classrooms of Mrs. Christensen and Miss Snapp.  We are tight on space so we would appreciate it if you did not bring siblings.

You will be asked to vote for your top 3 favorites.  Of course one of those favorites will be your own child!

When the competition is finished, you may check your child out of school for the rest of the day, if desired!

Information about the school contest will be sent home with the winners of the Class competitions the following day.

The poem needs to be a published poem, appropriate for the age and ability of a first grade student. It must be memorized. It needs to be presented in a easy to understand manner. No props can be used.  Good body language, voice inflection and gestures are encouraged!

We need a copy of your child’s poem by September 30th.  We will practice a few times at school before the competition.

Thank you.

Mrs. Christensen, Miss Snapp and Mrs. Wilcox

Guest reader

 We had a guest reader today in class.  

She brought one of her favorite picture books to read to our class.  

We loved having her come.  Thanks so much!

Back to School Night

We had a Back to School Night where we tried to inform parents about many of the programs and things planned for the year!  My class were given their Important Paper Folders filled with information.

Homecoming

The homecoming parade was late starting so we waited on the curb...

Quick Review

The first grade teachers want to send out a huge THANK YOU to all the parents and other volunteers for coming to school this week and working with students. We can't thank you enough for giving our students this special shot of intensive review.

We will be proceeding with harder work shortly and this readies students and gives us a direction to best go.

We hope that you enjoyed your time with the students as well. Aren't they adorable?

Special thanks also to Mrs. Winkler for her limitless efforts to organize this priceless activity. She puts in hours and hours of time preparing and we do so appreciate it!
