Welcome to First Grade


Welcome to First Grade!  I am so excited to get to know all of you.  I hope you’ve had a wonderful summer doing lots of fun activities with your family and friends- - and that you’ve had a chance to eat lots of ice cream.

This year will be full of fun projects and learning experiences.  As school is approaching quickly, I wanted to share some information about what to expect so you can be prepared for our first days together!  If you want to shop for school supplies, these are some of the items you will be using:

            pencils                                   crayons                      markers
           
A small pencil box   glue sticks                 one-pocket folders

Writer’s journal

On the first day of school I would like you to bring in something that would tell us more about yourself.  It may be a book, stuffed animal, a picture or a favorite item.  We will not all know each other yet, so this will be a fun way to learn about our class. 

We will be having snack time every day so try to bring a snack with you.  You may also buy milk, juice or breakfast.

I cannot wait to see all of you.   There will be an open house for you and your parents on Tuesday, August 28 from 8:00-9:00am.  It will be an informal hour for you to see the room and meet some of your classmates.  School starts Wednesday, August 29 at 8:15am. 

I hope this will be a special year for you.  Please talk to me when you have something to share, when you don’t understand or when you are upset.  I will always listen carefully. 

Sincerely,
Miss Terrien
