Class Procedures
The first week of school, we will work on establishing a collaborative classroom. I feel it is important to create an atmosphere of safety, trust, and respect. We will work hard to build a sense of community and emphasize the idea of teamwork. I am a firm believer that the best learning takes place in this type of environment. I look forward to working together in order to make this a very successful school year for your child (academically, socially, and emotionally).
Every week there will be a new TEAM CAPTAIN for each pod of desks. They will be responsible for specific jobs such as collecting papers, passing out team materials, and making sure the team is working together to keep their area clean and organized.
A new Teacher's Helper is chosen everyday. The teacher's helper takes the lunch count to the cafeteria, carries recess equipment out, and helps Ms. Wade with other tasks during the day.
All students are responsible for helping to keep our classroom running smoothly so we can have the best possible learning environment for all students!

STAR STICKS
- Please put money for lunch in a sealed envelope with your child’s name and my name.
- Snack will be in the morning. Please provide only one healthy snack for your child each day that they can open independently.
- Your child may bring a water bottle with a flip top. Please do not send juice (water only).
As noted in the school handbook, birthday treats are to be passed out during lunch time. Please do not send birthday invitations for your child to pass out. This helps to avoid hurt feelings among classmates. Teachers may not give out contact information for birthday party invitations.
Absences
If your child is absent due to a sickness, please send a note when he/she returns in order for the absence to be excused. Make-up work for the day(s) missed will be sent home. It is to your child's benefit to make-up missed work.

The agenda is a great communication tool. Your child will write weekly spelling words and a daily message in the agenda. I may also write notes to you and you may communicate small notes to me as well. It is important to read and sign the agenda daily. Please do not send transportation changes in the agenda.
Along with the agenda, your child will have a red Take Home Folder that will come home and needs to be brought back to school everyday. Important notes, lunch money, papers done in class, and forms not sent in the Thursday Folders will be sent home in blue folders. Every Monday, homework will be sent in the red folder and will need to be completed and returned in the folder on Friday.
Homework
A homework sheet will be sent home every Monday. Read the homework for the appropriate night. After your child completes the day’s homework, sign to verify that the homework was completed. Return all homework back to your child’s teacher on Friday.
Remember that homework is primarily given to practice skills and instill responsibility in your 1st grader. Please use discretion while working on the homework with your child. We want your child to be challenged but at the same time feel successful. Have your child work at their ability.
