I hope everyone has had a great summer and is ready to get back into a routine. This is my first year doing a blog newsletter. I used to send out an emailed newsletter but thought this would be easier. To the right on the blog you will see a link that says "Spelling". When you click on this you will be taken to the spelling words for the whole year. We will begin our Week 1 spelling words the week of August 29th. I will send a hard copy of the list home every Friday before. The math link on the right will have information coming soon!
Please follow our class on Instagram! There are already pictures to look at! Send a request to: mrsrobertsfirsties
The first three days of school we will be learning classroom procedures, rules and about each other! Your child will bring home a "Home Folder" each night that will have their work and important information for you. There will also be a page that you and I can correspond important information on. Please check this sheet each night and leave in the folder.
Please let me know through a note in the home folder, email or a phone call if your child is getting home a different way. I wouldn't email late in the afternoon, as I may not be able to check my email then.

Making Words Homework starts Tuesday. Your child will have Making Words Homework every Tuesday and Thursday unless there is no school. Please look for a half sheet of paper with letters stapled to it. Remove the staple and have your child make as many words as they can with the letters and your child will write the words down they make. We will have done this together in class so ask them if they remember the words they made that day. They will have the Mystery Word already written on their paper. Please have your child return this to school so I can check it. This activity has great results if done regularly!!
Have a GREAT week!!
