First Grade Field Trip To Roca Berry Farm

We are so excited for our field trip on Friday October 3rd! Please remember to dress appropriately for the chilly weather and lots of walking that we will be doing that day. Also, please don't forget (if your child is bringing a sack lunch from home) that everything needs to be able to be thrown away at the end of lunch. We are so grateful to our volunteers who are coming with us on our trip. Thank you to all of the parents who graciously donated money so we could enjoy the pumpkin patch! Be looking for photographs of the field trip posted on our blog next week!

First Week of School

We are so pleased with how well the first week of first grade turned out! We learned and practiced lots of routines, reviewed Riley school rules, and even spent some time learning new Centers. Many of the first graders brought back their Share Sacks and we enjoyed getting to know each other better. We are both looking forward to a great year with this wonderful bunch of students!

Please comment on how the first week of school went for you! We would also love to hear back from the parents about some things that their students enjoyed about the first week of school.

Jump Start Meetings

We enjoyed visiting with all of the first grade families that attended the jump start to first grade meetings. It was special to us to meet the parents and the families of the students that will be in our classes this year. Thank you to everyone who joined us and a special thanks to Mrs. Wylie for all of her help!

Please leave a comment about something helpful or interesting that you learned at the meeting you attended.

First Day of First Grade!

The first day of first grade is just around the corner. We are looking forward to meeting all of the students (and their families) that will be in our classrooms. A great way to prepare for the first day of school is to get lots of sleep, eat a well balanced breakfast, and plan ahead! Review some of the kindergarten skills that your child learned last school year. See you soon!

Please feel free to post any helpful tips that you use to get your child ready for the first week of school!
