Dear 1st grade parents,

This week positively flew!! My 3 year old is already home with a fever today. I hope your children can stay healthy with all this new exposure. :) We do get our desks cleaned once a day which helps! Thanks, Mrs. Chenier.

Our lunch is very late this year at 12:10. Each morning I give the students a little break in the room to have a snack. Many students are hungry and don't have any food. Please consider buying something that would be easy for your child to keep in their backpack, like cracker packages, then you would only have to pack it up once a week!

Each of you received a behavior report today from Class Dojo. If you sign that report and send it back with your child on Monday, I will give them a point! Speaking of points we had several students earn prizes this week. The choices for earning 10 or more points were: Bring a stuffed animal to school, No Homework Pass, Read a book to the class, and Positive Note Home. I was so proud. They were definitely following rule #5 Make your dear teacher happy!

I didn't put too many student pictures on the blog this week. I have to wait until I get your permission, so if you haven't checked and signed the small orange student handbook, please do so and send in the tear out sheet. I also did not get back all of the emergency forms. Many times there is a change in phone numbers for yourself or emergency contacts. Please update them and send them back. If your child is sick at school we will need to be able to reach someone!!

Homework starts this week, please look at your calendar!

I added a Scholastic Book Club tab at the top of this blog. It will give you instructions if you are interested in purchasing books online. The deadline is Sept. 30th.

We did our first two brain breaks and the students loved them. You can find them on this post.

If you have read this whole thing and want to give your child another easy point have them say the word spaghetti to me on Monday and I will add another point to their total. I hope you all have a great weekend!! I am going to snuggle my little guy until the yuckies go away!
