before attempting to pick up your child.

Can I volunteer?

We love our volunteers!  I do, however, like for you to send a 
note before 
you come to help in the classroom.  This way, I can have 
something ready for 
you to help with, or children assigned for you to read with.

Are there specific times to come and conference?

I will be glad to conference with you any day during our PE time 
(12:40-1:25) or after school.  If you need to speak with me, 
please send a note 
and we can schedule a day and time to discuss your concerns.  
Unfortunately, 
there isn't time to conference in the pick-up line.  If you need 
to give me 
information, you are welcome to come see me after the children 
have been 
picked up.

How much time 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. Encourage children to read fiction and 
non-fiction 
text. Always discuss the information read and ask the child to 
retell the 
information or events in a story. That way you know whether or 
not they 
understand. Praise your child often, and tell them about books 
and articles 
you are reading, or read when you were a child. Model reading 
when possible. 
Take turns reading aloud with your child. They will want to 
emulate your 
phrasing and expression. Most of all, show that reading is fun 
and is a 
necessary life skill.
