Hot Weather + Recess = Thirsty First Graders!  🙂

Please send your child with a spill proof water bottle EACH DAY to keep in their cubbies.   One drinking fountain with five, first grade classes would take an impossible amount of time and we want to make sure they are getting enough water.  Thanks so much!  

We are so excited for our FIRST DAY of school Monday and hope you are too!!Remember: The first week of school is EARLY OUT each day and end at 1:00.

To help ease the first day pick up jitters for parents and students, we wanted to let you know that we lead our class out the EAST doors.  Carpool students will go to the back of the building.  We will take all other students to the tree just in front of OUR classroom windows.  

If you have instructed your child to meet you somewhere else (often with older siblings), they can then let either Ms. Smith or Mrs. Teichert know they will be going to that spot.  Otherwise, your child will be waiting at our designated spot and can go with you after your child lets us know you are there and we see you.  

We will do this the first few days to help us all feel comfortable with pick up.

We are very excited to welcome our new students into our first grade class!
