Welcome to Grade One

Dear Parents and Students,                                                   

Welcome to Grade One! I hope you had a fantastic summer holiday.

I am excited about the opportunity to get to know you, and I am looking
forward to a happy and productive school year.  

Our class blog is:

http://grade1disk.blogspot.com

This blog will be used for all schedules, information/updates, and assignments as well as homework.

I will also use the blog for posting photographs of class activities and just use it as a way of keeping you informed and up-to-date for activities for school life.  

The Communication Book will only be for material related to specific 
students (your child) or when school notices need to be sent home.

As homework will be posted regularly on the blog, students will no longer need to use the green Assignment Books as they have proven to be quite time consuming and difficult for their age group. I hope this will be a much easier and user friendly system for us all!

The start of a new year holds the promise of new discovery and learning 
as well as the prospect of personal growth in all areas. We will have lots
of fun reading, writing, and learning new things together.

 Please also be reminded that:

*Students are required to wear full school uniform to school everyday. On Thursdays, students must still come to school in their uniform and bring their P.E. clothes and shoes in a bag to be changed into in the morning.

* Students are allowed to come to school in their P.E. uniform on Fridays if they wish.

*Please remember that if students have P.E. class and they do not have their proper P.E. uniform they will be unable to participate in the class. 

*It is essential they participate, so please be aware of the schedule. Grade 1 students will have P.E. class from 11:15 am-12:00 pm every Thursday.

So much will happen during this formative year and because of this, the year will be full of important transitions.  I believe that a good parent-teacher relationship is necessary for maximum school success.   If you ever have any comments, questions or concerns, please write to me in the communication book and always know it is my pleasure to talk to you about your child.

Sincerely,

Grade 1 Homeroom
