1st Grade News

Welcome to 1st Grade! It was so fantastic meeting our new families at Meet the Teacher Night! We hope everyone had a wonderful summer full of sunshine, rest, and fun memories.

💜First Grade

August 11: First Day of School

Parents are invited to walk their student to class on the first day. On day 2, regular morning arrival procedures will begin.

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.

🎲 Math: I can instantly recognize the quantity of a small group of objects without counting.

🛑 Social Studies: I can tell why rules are important and how they keep us safe.

📚 Reading/Writing: I can model the habits of a good reader/writer.

🔬Science: I can describe scientists and the tools they use.

🎲 Math: "When you look at a small group of things—like a few birds on a wire or a couple of shoes by the door—how can you tell how many there are without counting them one by one?"

🛑 Social Studies: "Why do you think places like schools, parks, or homes have rules? What is one rule that keeps people safe?"

📚 Reading/Writing: "What does someone look like when they are being a really great reader or writer? What kinds of things do they do?"

🔬Science: "What does a scientist actually do, and what is a tool they might use to help them do their job?"

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!
