Welcome to Room 4!

Welcome to Ridgeview First Graders!

"Meet Your Teacher"

Tuesday September 4th

4:00-5:30 pm


                                   
1.  Find your child's desk. Please place their school box on top next to their name tag. I will fill these before morning. Please notice your child has an Information Packet that includes our Daily Schedule, their lunch procedure, and lunch number, Class Dojo communication app sign-up directions and a pink Class Snack Permission page. I cannot serve a snack until every parent has signed and returned this page.



2.  Next, you will find a Permission to Use Photos for educational purposes. Note, I will not take or share a picture of your child if this page for permission is not granted. He/she will be excluded from any/all photos for the year. Please sign and place these pages in the baskets on the table. In addition you will find an opportunity to support room 4 snacks this year. I will send home a reminder with a specific list of snacks we may serve. We consider students with allergies when choosing/approving crackers. Room 4 uses parent volunteers weekly. You may sign-up at meet the teacher, or consider helping, and there will be a letter coming home soon offering a second chance to sign-up. Volunteers do not start until October. On the very first day many parents choose to bring and/or pick-up their first grader. First graders with a brother or sister, friend, or daycare provider (like Kids Club) may go on the bus or be picked up by someone other than their parent.  To make their first day successful, please tell me how your child will be going home Sept. 5th, and every day after. 
Finally, PLEASE place all supplies in the hall in bins and crates provided.

Happy Summer First Graders!


Happy Summer Birthdays!

Today we celebrated the great job we did making the most money raised in the October pizza fundraiser. We received free pizzas from Papa's! What a great way to celebrate our summer birthdays! PTO also provided juice.

Citizenship Awards!

Our school counselor came in this morning to present a Citizenship Award to every student in room 4. We were her VERY BEST listeners and learners this year in Social Skills class.

Room 4 Rocks Their Day

It occurred to me this morning- my first graders have grown into mature little second graders. It doesn't happen overnight, it is a progression of tiny steps, inch by inch. Looking around the room I saw independent self-managers. My little learners were engaged, concentrating on their "jobs".

As each student finished their daily routine, they made excellent choices based on their interest. I am so proud of my class. I can send them to second grade ready to tackle anything. Thank you parents for supporting this journey! I see a bright future for every first grader in room 4.

 

First Grade Music Program

Thank you Ms Martin for a night of sweet voices, talented instrumentals, and beautiful children! Our first graders did an amazing job!
