Mrs. Bryant's First Grade Class

It is COLD outside! Please stay safe and warm this weekend! There is no school this Monday...enjoy the unexpected long weekend!

Next week, is already full of fun! Wednesday is a half day AND the 100th day of school. Thursday brings us to the 101st day of school. Please have your child wear a white or black polo. We will have a special spotted visitor that I know they will want to match. Friday is rodeo day!!! Students may wear jeans and a spirit or rodeo type shirt. Please check the email from Coach Stone for more info!

Please be sure that you are reading with your child a few nights a week. If you need some books that are on their reading level please ask me....I have tons! Even just reading the weekly passage from the red folder a few times will build confidence. It makes a huge difference in their success as a reader!

It is time for Texas City projects! City assignments went home in Friday's red folder, as well as further instructions. I was able to give everyone their first or second choice (lots of people wanted Galveston, but I was able to give everyone who wanted that one a beach town).

This week's estimation jar student was Stella. She brought 98 marshmallows to share! It surprised everyone how many there were in such a small space. Thank you Stella and family!

Blue Friday Folders

Your child will bring home their Friday folder for the first time today. Please take out the graded work, look it over and sign the sheet in the folder. They will also be bringing a "Peek at our week" sheet that explains what we learned this week and how you can support your child at home.

Red Folders

Please check your child's red folder each night. Inside it you will find papers to be kept at home, school flyers and a calendar. This is a great place to write dismissal changes or send a note. I will put a sticker each day for a great day or write a note if anything needs to be communicated.

Headphones

All students need headphones as soon as possible. Please no ear buds.

With temperatures HOT outside, our classes and cafeteria can sometimes get chilly. Please provide a FWC approved jacket or sweater that can be kept in lockers and used throughout the day. Remember to label everything.

Each week your child will check out 2 library books. They can keep them at home or leave them at school. They were chosen by your child and not assigned for reading purposes. Each week they must have them at school ready to turn in to get 2 more books.
