Dear
First Grade Families,
Welcome Back! I am so glad to have your child in my class
this year! We will be going on an educational journey this year that
will prove to expand their young minds.
The folder you received today is a Friday folder. It will
come home every Friday with your child and will contain my newsletter,
graded work, and important notes.
Included in today’s folder is a survey, my child as a
learner. Please fill this out and return it to me at your earliest
convenience. You also received the parent student handbook, information
about soccer leagues, my discipline plan and the first grade curriculum
map. Please use the curriculum map as a reference so you are aware of
what is being taught throughout the year.
Our classroom rules this year are the following: 1) Be
respectful, 2) Raise your hand, 3) Use kind words, 4) Use good manners,
5) Do your best work, 6) Follow directions.
Please be sure your child has a couple healthy snacks each
day. They may also bring a non-spill water bottle to keep at their
desk. Every Friday these will come home so they can be cleaned. |
If you are wondering about school supplies I would suggest
that your child have pencils and crayons in a small container as well as
a two pocket folder for their homework. Our enrichment schedule has not
been made yet, but I will get it to you as soon as it is in place.
Michigan weather is unpredictable so please be sure your
child comes to school dressed appropriately for what mother nature may
bring. We go outside for recess unless weather is very severe.
I am looking forward to meeting all of you at our open house
next week Thursday, Sept. 8th from 6-8. I am glad to have
the opportunity to work with you and your child this year. If you ever
have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to call or e-mail me. My
e-mail is
klyman@manistee.org and the phone number here at school is
889-9674. You may also check our website for classroom newsletters and
pictures of events. Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Kelly Lyman |
