- Each week, Room 10 will have a special Kid of the Week. This child gets to be our line leader, to decide the morning greeting, and to bring one special possession to school to share on the first morning of his/her special week. The child will tell why he/she brought this item and why it is special. The other children in the class will then have an opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the share. When it is your child’s turn, please help him/her choose something other than a toy. It could be a photograph, a favorite book, a letter or postcard from someone special, an item from a collection, a scientific experiment, an award, a drawing, etc. Please know that it is perfectly fine if your child would rather not bring in an item to share. Each Friday, we will draw the name of the next Student of the Week so the child can be prepared to share on Monday if he/she chooses. A note will go home when your child is chosen.
- Each child will need an art smock for the year. Old t-shirts, or men’s or women’s collared, button down shirts work well. Obviously, the shirts can be old and worn as they will be used for art projects. Please send in a smock as soon as possible.
- A formal schedule of homework won't begin for a few more weeks, but rest assured that information will be forthcoming. The children are already asking!
You may find your first grader quite tired (and hungry) after school. This is very normal for the first few weeks. Our days are busy and the children are taking in a lot of new information each day. We will all settle in slowly but surely. Please be in touch at anytime with questions you may have.
