1st Grade News

Happy Week 5, First Grade Families!

We are in a fantastic groove, and our young learners are bringing so much joy, energy, and curiosity to the classroom every single day. It is amazing to see how much their confidence is growing! As we keep building our reading and writing superpowers, practicing at home makes a world of difference! Please continue taking a few minutes each evening to go over the blending lines sent home in your child's folder. Also, first grade no longer uses ice cream permission slips. If you would like to regulate your child's purchasing at lunch, please go on MySchoolBucks to limit purchases of specific items. You can even make it so they can only purchase on certain days! Thank you so much!

Love,

First Grade Team💜

Attendance/Absences:

There is a change this year for doctor’s notes or other supporting documentation for an absence. They should now be submitted by completing the online Attendance Note Submission form and uploading the documentation within the form. Student's 8-digit ID numbers (900...) are required in order to complete the form, and may be found in Skyward Family Access. This process applies to both full-day and partial-day absences. Please note that a parent notification submitted through Skyward Family Access regarding a doctor's visit does not qualify as a doctor's note. If you have any questions, please reach out to our registrar at windsong-registrar@prosper-isd.net.

Cafeteria Info:

Our food service team's commitment remains the same: serving safe, high-quality meals students enjoy. Learn more about our Child Nutrition department, put money on your child's MySchoolBucks account today, and bookmark the lunch menu calendar.

This year, Child Nutrition is updating menus to remove certain artificial dyes and additives while continuing our focus on simple, recognizable ingredients.

🎲 Math: I can use models to compose numbers in more than one way.

🛑 Social Studies: I can name a historical figure and tell how they showed they are a good citizen.

📚 Reading/Writing: I can listen, think, speak, read, and write throughout the school day.

🔬Science: I can describe changes caused by heat.

🎲 Math: "If we have 10 snacks on the plate, can you show me two different ways to build 10 using two groups?"

🛑 Social Studies: "What made that historical figure so helpful to other people? How can we act like them at home or school today?"

📚 Reading/Writing: "Did you do more talking, listening, or writing during reading time today? What was the most fun part?"

🔬Science: "What happens when something gets really hot? What’s one object that changes or melts when heat touches it?"

Please remember to bring your car tag to pick up your child at dismissal. If you do not have your car tag, you must come into the office with a valid ID for us to release your child to you. If you are unable to pick up your child, only people listed on your emergency contact list on Skyward will be able to do so. Please have them bring their ID with them to the office for verification. Thank you!
