Hello parents!
We had a great first week in first grade! I enjoyed spending the week with each student and I enjoy seeing their happy faces each day. This week, we are starting to use the apps Imagine Learning and iReady in class. Those apps can be access at home as well (after the initial diagnostic placement test). I will send password cards home later in the week.

Spelling Words: man can nap tap cat hat not does Math This week’s math lesson is Lesson 1 Count On to Add. Each math lesson is divided into sessions, with Lesson 1 having five sessions. There will be a lesson quiz on Friday. Your student came home with a “Family Letter” today that explains the lesson and gives you a few activities to try at home. That does not need to be turned in, it can stay at home. Homeroom We are talking about respect, responsibility, and positivity in homeroom this week. Donations and Volunteer Opportunities In each homeroom in the school, we have a “Class Captain.” A class captain will organize class parties for holidays, may coordinate volunteer opportunities, ask parents for donations, coordinate teacher appreciation activities, and any other things I may need done throughout the year. If you are interested in being my Homeroom Class Captain, please email me. At the bottom of this email, I have a few donations opportunities listed: an Amazon Wish List or Teachers Pay Teachers Gift Cards/Class Fund. Please check out those links if you are looking to donate to our classroom. Anything is greatly appreciated! Feel free to email me with ANY questions. I am happy to help wherever I can. I am excited to get to know your children this year and I am excited to see how they grow and learn. Thank you, Hello Parents!
Welcome to first grade! I am Ms. Hansen, your child’s teacher for literacy, math, and/or homeroom. This is my second year of teaching and I am excited for another wonderful year in first grade. I am excited to get to know you and get to know all my students. Each Monday I will be updating my website with a “newsletter” for the week so you will know the important information for the week. My website URL is at the bottom of this email under my signature. I will also be emailing you each Monday either letting you know that my website has been update or I will copy and paste the entire “newsletter” for the week, so watch for my email each Monday afternoon. I will follow the same format each week: important school wide dates, any important info for everyone, Literacy info, Math info, and Homeroom info. Thank you in advance for your patience as we start the new school year and establish new routines. If you need to get in contact with me, you can always email me, and I will respond within 24 hours. I am hoping to have open communication with each parent so we can work together and make it the best year for every student. I sent home a rainbow disclosure with your child today, but I also wanted to attach it to this email so you have a digital copy of it. Your child received an orange B.E.E (Bring Everything Everyday) folder today that needs to come back and forth between home and school each day. There is a side for “Return to School” and “Keep at Home.” Calendar August 16: First Day of School August 19: Back to School Night 5 – 7 pm August 20: Early out @ 12:45 pm August 24: Restaurant Night – Culvers August 27: Early out @ 12:45 pm Literacy This week we will be giving our Beginning of Year assessments to see what reading level our students are at.

You will receive a “family letter” at the beginning of each week or so to let you know what we are learning for the week. Homeroom We will be doing getting to know you activities this week. There will be no homework in Homeroom. In each homeroom in the school we have a “Class Captain.” A class captain will organize class parties for holidays, may coordinate volunteer opportunities, ask parents for donations, coordinate teacher appreciation activities, and any other things I may need done throughout the year.
