Pictures from Week One!

Welcome to  our first set of pictures from the 2022-2023 school year!

 Please know I try my best to get some of each student each week. However, sometimes outside factors occur (absence, eyes shut, not wanting pics...). Feel free to screen shot or drag off any of your child's pictures. You can also email me and ask me to send you one. One last thing...for some reason the blog site decided to put the pics on in opposite order of happening. It drives me crazy. However, it is what it is. I hope you enjoy getting to peek into our daily world at school!!

We had Cactus Day on Thursday! We made 2D and 3D cacti. 

We also wrote about what goal we had for the year that we were going to STICK to!

Oh, and how could I forget...we ATE cacti (green pretzels!).

We are enjoying all the STEM materials in the room!

This year is going to be SLOTH-some!

Sharing our special bags about ourselves.

Enjoying our Jitter Juice that we found at the end of our magical scavenger hunt!

A clue fell out of a book we were reading. We decided to follow it and it led us on a wonderful scavenger hunt throughout the building. It ended back in our room with an awesome surprise!

The magic dough changed colors so we know it's going to be a great year!!

Happy Long Weekend!

First Day of First Grade

  Hi! We had a wonderful first day of school! I’m really excited to be back!  We are going to have a super year! Ask your child about our scavenger hunt!

I have enclosed our specials schedule and class list. Please note the days that the specials are on. Sneakers should be worn or brought for Phys. Ed. Library books can be returned on or before Library day. We will eat snack at 9:30 and lunch at 11:55 each day. Children are allowed to grab a working snack in the afternoon if they are hungry.  We go outside twice each day. Feel free to put an extra bag of clothes or keep a sweatshirt in your child’s locker in case of mishaps or changing temperatures. Students can change anytime during the day.

I will be emailing home newsletters each week.This will keep you informed of what is going on in grade one. You can also check my blog for information at:  www.http://vcslk1.blogspot.com. Everything I send home, including homework, will be placed in your child’s folder. There will be no homework the first two weeks of school. Please make sure your child brings his/her folder each day. This is a good way for you to send in notes and lunch money. Lunch money should be in an envelope that has your child’s name on it.  I check folders first thing each morning. Another good way to reach me is by email, lkimball@veaziecs.org. I check my email throughout the day. I also check it at night and on weekends. 

Reminder about transportation schedules...if your child’s schedule is going to change, I need a note or phone call from you. I cannot accept a verbal message from your child for safety reasons. Also, the earlier you can let the school know, the better. Last minute changes are hard when trying to get classes packed up and out.

Once again, I am really looking forward to this year. Together, we can make this a great year for your child!
