Please remember to send healthy snacks. Also, remember not send snacks with peanut butter or peanuts, because one student is allergic. We will shift to a new rotation on September 3. This rotation is in alphabetical order, by last name, and will be used for the remainder of the year. All names will be listed on our class calendar (click the calendar tab).

Happy Birthday Dani!!


Dani & Daddy. Happy. Thanks for sharing cupcakes with us today!

 Wish List:
Thanks again to the many families who donated items from our last list. We currently need athletic socks (they make good erasers) & Expo Dry-Erase Markers (black only). We use these for our student dry erase boards.

PTA & The SRS Education Foundation:
Thank you again to all families who give generously to our PTA. If you have not already joined the PTA and contributed to the Foundation’s Annual Fund, please join today. Your dollars truly make a difference for our students! To make an online donation to the Foundation, click here.

Orientation:
Back to school activities are an important opportunity for parents to understand their children’s school day. Thank you to the many parents who attended the 1st Grade Orientation on August 16th. He had a great turnout!! If we haven’t had an opportunity to meet, please stop by. My door is always open. I look forward to working with all parents this school year!

Welcome to 1st Grade!!!!

First grade is an exciting time as children embark upon new adventures in the world of learning. I am looking forward to a very exciting and productive year working with your child. I will strive each day to make learning a fun and enriching process for your child. I believe we are a team, working together, to help your child thrive academically. Our collaboration is a key component of a successful year!

Mark Your Calendars!

1st Grade Orientation:

On behalf of the first grade team, I would like to extend an invitation to our annual SRS First Grade Orientation, to be held on Thursday, August 16, 2012 @ 6:00pm. The program will begin in the auditorium with a welcome from administration and grade level chair and conclude with an information session in our classroom.

Class Snacks:

Our students willbring snacks for the entire class, once every 23 days (estimate), using the group snacks model. Once I find out about any/all food allergies, I will post an August snack calendar. Remaining rotations will be posted on our monthly calendars submitted by our room parents. Thanks to those who volunteered for next week. If you did volunteer, remember to bring 23 healthy snacks in the bags provided the night before. If I find that students have allergies other than gluten or gelatin (allergies I already listed as possibilities), I will provide a substitute.
