Hello First Grade Parents! 💛

Welcome Back!  I hope you had an amazing SPRING BREAK!

Just a reminder that your child should be reading their book baggie Monday–Thursday with an adult to practice fluency and comprehension. This small daily practice makes a BIG difference!

Please remember to send your child to school with a jacket or sweatshirt so they stay warm during our 20-minute recess.

We also have a daily snack time that lasts about 10 minutes. Be sure your child brings a drink and a separate snack from their lunch.

Thank you for your continued support at home. We are truly working as a team, and it shows! 💙

Warmly,
Mrs. Fornaro
