Welcome to our first grade website. We have so many things going on that we don't want you to miss.
Please return to our site often to keep you updated on our first grade happenings, skills we are working on, and special dates.
Thanks!

Please take a moment each night to go over your child's math facts . Making math
fact practice a regular part of homework along with reading the AR book and practicing spelling words will help your child
succeed in school. Thanks!
First Graders eat lunch at 11:15. We would love for you to join your child for lunch but remember to call ahead
so we can help the cooks with the number of meals. You will also be asked to use your child's lunch number to credit your
lunch onto your child's account instead of paying cash for your lunch. Thanks!
Mrs. Ries' Classroom Needs: Legos, gift cards from Walmart, Hobby Lobby, and Staples, antibacterial wipes, expo dry
erase markers multi colors pack, hamster food, large cheap style paper plates for art projects, spray air for computers, and
blank dvd-r's, blank cd-r's.
Sr. Joan's Classroom Needs: Pencil top erasures, legos, expo dry erase markers multi colors pack, gift cards from
KMART, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and Staples.
We have all of the AR upgrades complete! The first graders are now reading and testing as usual. Letters went
home with all of our students explaining all of the new changes along with your student's passwords to check out the new
"Home Connect" portion of the program on-line. If you did not receive this letter from your student let us know
and we can print you another one. This letter is crucial for you to be able to track your child's progress at home. Just
a reminder to please have your child bring back his/her AR book to school EVERYDAY. Even if your child hasn't had a chance
to read the book at home. We have a special time set aside to read that AR book in the classroom for practice and review and
your child misses out on that if he/she does not bring the book back to school. Thank you for your help with this. Students
in Mrs. Ries' class will be visiting the "Ries AR store" to spend their AR point dollars. Sr. Joan's class
will visit the "Sr. Joan AR store", too. These are their dollars they have earned throughout the first semester
reading their AR books. They have earned it! Keep encouraging them to read, read, read!!!
