Mrs. Kilgore’s 1st Grade

A special thanks goes to Mrs. Darla for a fun Holiday Party on the Friday before break.  Our class is so lucky to have such supportive, involved parents.  Thanks to all of you who helped out. 

We have a short week this week so it will be nice to ease back into the school schedule. I have changed our daily routine a little bit and will be explaining the procedures with the children this week. Please, encourage your child to remember and follow the guidelines I sent out at conference time. This is the time of year when lots of learning takes place and it will be great to see how much growth your child will experience both mentally and physically.

We do not have homework this week but I did want to tell you that one change in our daily routine is at the end of the day. We will begin to write in our Family Message Journals each day. I would like to have your child bring the Family Message Journal back and forth from school each day. Please, read the message your child has written and please respond with a message back each day. I will encourage your child to keep it in their backpack and get it out ONLY when they write in it at school and when they take it out for you at night. My hope is to have your child explain to you something they have learned daily in first grade. I think it will be a great journal to look back at when your child gets older, too.

Please, continue to look at our class website. I have added new things that your child will be learning and working on at the start of this new year.
Book orders will be due on Friday, January 25^th.

Have a fabulous week and again Happy New Year.
