When is homework given?
Homework is usually given on Monday through Thursday. Once a
quarter there is a project that will be assigned with a week to
do it which may extend over a weekend.
What is done for birthdays in 1P?
On your child's bday you may send in a snack and the child may
wear nice dress down clothes. (no jeans) The snack needs to be
for each individual, no cookie cakes, cakes, or things that need
cut up. Cookies, brownies, jello cups, pudding cups, rice
krispie treats, toosie roll pops, and donuts are
all great examples that we have had in the past. If it is a
summer bday your child may celebrate on their half bday. Please
contact me ahead of time in case of doubles. Thank you.
How should I get in touch with Mrs. Parent or Mrs. King?
I usually check emails in the classroom before school, during
snack or lunch, and after school. Notes are read in the morning
by Mrs. King and given to me if they need immediate attention or
at snack if they can wait. You may also call the school and leave
a message in my voice mail after school hours at my extension
#4666. Emails are the best way to reach me in the evenings.
Email addresses: teach4fun1y@hotmail.com for Mrs. Parent
dking@olls.org for Mrs. King
How does my child make up missed work?
I will be sending home work that your child needs to complete. I
will work in the classroom on anything I need to see them do on
their own. I will NOT be sending home everything we did that
day. If you are going out of town, please notify me ahead of
time so that I can get a travel packet together with important
work for the missed days. There may be others things upon
your return that needed completed as well.
Do you have snack in 1P?
We will be having a snack in 1P. Please send in a healthy lunch
and snack to satisfy your child's hunger and thinking ahead of
the need to think and participate.
What is a Friday Folder?
A Friday Folder is a blue folder which comes home almost every
Friday. Inside the folder you will find most of the work
completed by your child from that week, the 1P Pride Newsletter,
and there may be notes or informational letters from the
teachers. Please look over the folder and sign the attached
sheet. This is a way for you to see how your child did making
choices that week as well as all their hard work. Please return
the folder to the classroom on Monday signed.
What is the difference between key words and spelling words?
Key words are frequently used words that the children will need
to master verbally. They must learn to read the word on its own
and in a sentence. They DO NOT have to spell the word, they have
to be able to read the word in a see and say fashion. We expect
them to be able to see it and say it and not have to sound it
out. These words can be found in the stories we are reading in
the classroom.
Spelling words are words the children will have to spell on a
verbally given test. I will say the words aloud to the children
and they will write them on paper. These words allign with the
phonics sound we are working on and the stories we are reading.
