I am so happy we can be back in the classroom! We've been busy learning how to be a first grader at MLE! Check back here daily to keep up with the latest and greatest first grade info!
A couple things:
You will find in your child's binder an orange sheet talking about signing up for our classroom Bloomz account. Please get signed in ASAP so you do not miss upcoming reminders and some fun pictures of our first grade happenings! Let me know if you have any questions getting singed in. This app will primarily be just for our parent communication. We will continue to use Seesaw as the year progresses as well. Watch for more info at a later date.
Masks: Please make sure your child has their "school" mask with if possible- these we use for recess/lunch and phyed time. This way when they get outside or get to the lunch room or the gym they can pull their masks down and not worry about dropping or losing them. Many kids use "gaiters" as well. These work great for the same reason- the kids can just pull them down when not needed. I really appreciate your help with this. We have been doing a great job and get many breaks through out the day. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the masks.
Parent Night: Sometime in the near future (has not been set yet) I would like to have a parent meeting over Zoom to go over things that make our first grade class special. This will be a time I will go over procedures and what to expect this year. Watch for more info soon.
Thanks for letting me share your AMAZING group of kiddos! It will be a FABULOUS year!
