 Can I volunteer?
Yes!  Volunteers are a very important part of our school family and are welcome to come and help 
our class.  Please let me know the date and time you will be available and I will arrange to have 
things left for you to work on in the little red schoolhouse.  You will always sign in at the office first. 
Then you may go to the schoolhouse and work.  Volunteers are greatly appreciated!

 What will I need to do when my child is Student of the Week?
When it is your child's turn to be Student of the Week you will receive an information sheet letting 
you know what you and your child need to send to school each day.  Students bring their favorite 
book and CD as well as a show and tell item.  The Student of the Week may also bring a special store 
bought snack for the class at the end of the week, but this is not required.

 How much should my child be reading?
Children in first grade should be reading both silently and aloud at home each day.  Thirty minutes 
of silent and oral reading will help your child become a fluent reader.  Ask your child to retell the 
events in a story.  This is how you will know whether or not they understand.  Take turns reading 
aloud with your child and model reading whenever possible.
