Academic Updates

This week we will continue to learn procedures and routines to help make our year

run smoothly.We will begin to learn what Daily 5 looks like in 1st grade as well as math centers and

ways to be independent.

Reminders

• We have two snacks daily.  It is expected that students bring their own.  

• It’s going to be hot this week.  Please be sure your child has a water bottle. 

If, at any time, you want to contribute to our classroom,

here are a few items on my wishlist .

Birthday Treats

If your child has a birthday during this school year, they are welcome to send in a prepackaged birthday treat to share with our class. We typically celebrate summer birthdays in June, but occasionally parents request to bring something on a half birthday instead.

Communication

Blog/Folder/Email

Mr. Hubble will send a weekly blog post each week with a link to my blog.  Please be sure to check this. I will include news of upcoming events and details about what we're learning in the classroom. The blog will be your primary news-getting source.  Most days your child will bring home a folder containing any work samples, notes, or additional communication from the school.  Please return this folder each day. Email is the best way to reach me, but you are also welcome to send a note or call the school.  My email address is aconfer@stjoebears.com

Water and Snacks

Please send two healthy snacks for your child each day as well as a water bottle. Please do not send candy or soda.  I do have treats on occasion for the children. If your child has an allergy or sensitivity please be sure to communicate that to the office and to me directly.

Classroom Donations 

Crayola crayons

Disinfectant Wipes 

Black Dry Erase Markers 

Volunteers

I am thrilled to be able to welcome parent volunteers again this year! I will have more information about this at our Back to School Night.

Masks

Yes, we will be wearing masks all day.  There will be opportunities for breaks.  Please have your child keep extra masks in his or her backpack--they can get pretty gross throughout the day.

Sickness

Please monitor your child and be diligent about keeping him/her home when warranted by symptoms. 

Recess

We will have recess three times each day as long as it's not raining, storming, or below 10 degrees. We will also take walks, and head outside to read as much as possible.
