MRS. PERRIN'S FIRST GRADE
Dear Parents,
I’d like to welcome you and your child to first grade. Learning is a partnership between home and school. It is very important for us to assist each other in the process of teaching your child’s academic and social skills. Good attendance will help your child to do his/her best. Please feel free to contact me about any concern. Remember it takes teamwork to enable us to give the best to your child.
First grade involves a busy work-filled day. Children who are well rested and have eaten a well-balanced breakfast have the best opportunity of learning. You will need to send in a healthy snack daily for your child. Lunch and milk money should be placed in a labeled sealed envelope or zip-loc bag on Monday or Friday for that week. Lunch time is 11:30. Also, please dress your child in layers. Though the mornings are cool, it does get very warm in the classroom. Your child will be able to focus better if he/she is comfortable.
My class has gym on Thursdays. Sneakers and appropriate clothing must be worn for safety and easy movement. Music is Tuesdays. Art is on Wednesdays. Library is on Fridays. Computer is on Mondays. There will no Spanish classes this year.
Remind your child how he/she will be coming home each day. If there are any changes from the usual way, you must send in a written note with your child.
I’m looking forward to an exciting, productive year. Homework will begin after Labor Day and will be given Monday – Thursday. Thank you for being involved in your child’s education.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Perrin
