PICS from DAY ONE 8/30/23

 First Grade Pictures...

I LOVE taking them!! I try my very best to get everyone as often as I can.

It's hard to get the exact equal amounts of each child each activity/day. 

We get busy and it gets hard to keep a camera going the entire time.

On that note, please know the pictures all equal out in the end.

Please feel free to screenshot any pics of your kids and use them. 

Also, for some reason the blog puts my pictures on backwards so you will see

the most recent picture first and go backwards in time. 

We had a terrific first day together. What a great group!! I feel very lucky!

We read lots of books, went on a scavenger hunt, shared about ourselves and 

explored the room. The day went so fast! 

What a great first day! 

It's going to be an awesome year!

First Day of First Grade 8/30/23

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. 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!
