Schedule

Here is a more formal class schedule. We will try to stick to this every day. Try to take our class schedule into account when you are scheduling appointments etc. for your child.

7:45-9:15 Small Reading Groups
9:15-10:45 Phonics, Whole Group Reading, Writing, Grammar
10:45-11:40 Specials
11:50-12:15 Lunch
12:15-12:30 Recess
12:30-1:00 Calendar
1:00-2:00 Math
2:00-2:20 Fluency and Word Wall
2:20-2:35 Pack Up

** In first grade, we only have an assistant for small reading groups. Our time slot with Ms. Richards is from 7:45-9:15. In order to get in all of the groups we will really need to start between 7:45-7:50. Please try to have your child to school on time each day. This way they can get unpacked, work on morning work, and get settled. If they need to eat breakfast they should come early so they do not have to eat in the classroom and miss out on small groups. **

What's The Buzz


Behavior and Bees :)


Behavior:

·        This week we are beginning to move bees in our classroom as a result of not following school and classroom rules and expectations.

·        Your child receives 2 warnings before they have to move their bee.

·        Please expect the first week or so to be an adjustment as your child gets used to the expectations in our class.

·        I would appreciate it if you would discuss your expectations for your child’s behavior at school with them.

·        I am VERY excited for a wonderful year with lots of learning!

Ready to go!

It was so nice meeting so many of you at orientation last Thursday! The classroom is ready and first day plans are made! I am really looking forward to getting to know each of the kids this year. I know we will all have a lot of fun and also learn many new things.

I would recommend that each of you sign up to follow the blog over on the right hand side. If you will do, you will get an email letting you know I have added a new post. I will add new posts several times a week to keep you updated on what is happening in the classroom!

I can't wait to see all of you bright and early Wednesday morning!
