Hello Parents,
We have had a great first week of school! I am so excited to have each of your students in my class, we truly do have the BEST FIRST GRADE CLASS! This week we learned a lot of new procedures and expectations. Please make sure that your child gets enough sleep and a healthy lunch that will last ALL day next week. I have had lots of your kiddos ask me when they can go home because they are tired and hungry.
Also, today we read a book about “Filling Your Bucket.” It’s all about how each of us have an imaginary bucket and we can choose to fill people’s buckets with nice comments, behaviors, etc., or we can choose to empty the bucket with hurtful and mean behaviors. We had a class discussion on the do’s and dont’s in the classroom. For example, we DO raise our hand to speak or to get out of our seat. We DON’T interrupt the teacher when she is talking. When we interrupt, it drains her bucket. When we do good things, it fills her bucket. If you could take a few minutes and talk with your student about this to remind them (maybe have them tell you the do’s and dont’s) that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your help! Here are some cute pictures of your first graders!
