First Grade Supply ListKristen Green Class 1-2

Welcome to First Grade! In our class, we use tables, not individual desks. Therefore, all students must have a plastic crayon box for their supplies (approximately 8x5x2 in.).

In the crayon box, please have: 3 sharpened Ticonderoga pencils 1 box of 24 Crayola crayons 1 large eraser 1 large glue stick 1 highlighter 1 scissor: Friskar’s work best

In a labeled Ziploc, place the remaining supplies that I will store for your child’s future use:

box of Ticonderoga pencils box of 24 Crayola crayons 1 highlighter 2 large erasers 5 large glue sticks 4 pack of Expo dry erase markers

All students will need 4 black & white composition notebooks. Label them with your child’s name. Reading Notebook #1, Reading Notebook #2, Math, Science/ Social Studies.

All students need a 1-inch binder with a plastic view finder on the front. This is where you can store a paper on the front of the binder. This will be their Poetry Binder.

In a separate labeled Ziploc bag, each child will need their own pair of headphones to use with our computers. Do not send ear buds.

In labeled envelope, $7.00 for subscription to Scholastic News for the year and a Primary notebook (which I have already purchased).

Items to share with the class:

1 box of tissues 1 roll of paper towels 1 box of baby wipes

It is worth the time to write your child’s name on everything, including individual crayons and pencils. This will allow your child to hold onto their items as long as possible. We cut and glue every day, large glue sticks are a must. Ticonderoga pencils sharpen the best, therefore they last longer.

I have colored pencils, markers, and a sharpener. Please do not send these items.

I will also supply a plastic folder that your child will use daily.

Please be sure you have supplies at home to do homework too!

Thank you!Kristen Green Class 1-2 Room 14Kgreeen1@yonkerspublicschools.org376-8345

2018 – 2019 School Year

Dear Parents,

The Third Grade Team would like to welcome you and your child. We are very excited and look forward to a wonderful year

filled with meaningful experiences and rewarding academic success. It is very important that we work together to make sure that your child receives the best education possible.

In our classrooms, we will be engaged daily in lessons and activities that are aligned to the new Common Core Standards. The students will take State Exams in English Language Arts and Math. We will be assigning homework every night, including Fridays and school breaks. Remember, homework is a great way to establish routines, responsibilities, and reinforce our lessons of the day. We feel that parents play a vital role in their child’s education so we ask you to support us in motivating them to develop good work and study habits. If your child sees that you value their education, they will value it as well.

Our Behavior Policy is a simple one and includes some of the following rules. We expect that all children be respectful to others and to be honest at all times. The Third Grade Team will not tolerate stealing, cheating, or any inappropriate behavior.

We thank you in advance for your support. Of course we will always be available to speak with you regarding any questions you may have. You may call School 17 at 376-8345 to schedule an appointment.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION1. Attendance is very crucial to your child’s education. They can not learn or

grow if they are not in school. Please make sure your child is at school daily, on time, and ready to learn.

2. Notes – All notes sent to school must be put in your child’s folder and any notes sent home will be placed in that folder as well. Please check your child’s folder EVERYDAY and have your child bring it to school every day.

3. Absent Notes – After your child is absent they are required to return to school with a note stating why they were out, signed by a parent/guardian.

4. Personal Belongings – Please put your child’s name on everything he or she brings to school. This will help prevent items from being misplaced.

5. Toys – ABSOLUTELY NO TOYS IN SCHOOL!! We will not be responsible for any lost or stolen items.

6. Parent Concern – The Third Grade Teachers feel that your participation is extremely important to your child’s education. You can call, write, or make an appointment to speak with us about any concerns you may have. We promise to get back to you as quickly as we can.

7. Gym – During the days that your child has gym, they are required to wear sneakers.

8. Medical – Please let us know of any medical conditions that your child might have, especially food allergies.

9. Celebrations – If for any reason you don’t want your child participating in certain celebrations please let us know. We also try to accommodate parents who wish to celebrate their child’s birthday in school. Please speak with us in advance in order to sort out the details.

10. Homework – It is crucial that your child do his/her HOMEWORK DAILY. If for any reason your child was unable to do the work, please send in a note. If not, the missing work will be reflected in his/her homework grade.11. Bus – If your child takes the bus to and from school and for any

reason you decide you don’t want them going home on the bus that day, you MUST send a note to school stating so. If we do not have a written request from a parent/guardian, your child will be put on the bus.

It’s going to be a very busy and rewarding year for your child. We will make every effort to help him/her feel safe, comfortable, and happy. One of your child’s goals will be to read and write independently. We will also begin to spell words correctly, understand math concepts, participate in hands-on math and science activities, and work cooperatively with classmates. We look forward to challenging your child and meeting his/her individual needs.

1. Getting to know each other, learning rules, and procedures2. Assessments of your child’s skill level in reading, writing, and math3. Review of skills learned (letters, sounds, sight words)4. Guided Reading Groups5. Center activities including math, writing, reading, listening, and art6. Using appropriate manners and following rules in Social Studies
