Welcome Back!

This is the time of year when the magic happens in First Grade! It is amazing to see all the learning that occurs during the winter months. We have a lot of exciting things to learn, do, and experience this month!

Quarantining?

If your child will be home for covid quarantines or any other reason, please let me know.  I appreciate knowing when I will have students absent. If your child is well enough to participate in school he or she is welcome to join our daily Morning Meeting STARTING THURSDAY at 8:50.  Join using this link on your child’s computer. Additionally, the digital choice board will provide various learning opportunities while your Firstie is at home.

Winter Gear

 It would be very helpful if you could please label your student’s gear.  It also helps quite a lot to have large reusable shopping bags to store snow pants, hats, and gloves throughout the day.
