When does the Zebra class eat lunch?
We go to lunch everday from 10:50-11:15. Please feel free to join us! We
love visitors!
--------------------------------------
How much time should my child spend reading?
First graders should read both orally and silently at school and at home on
a
daily basis. Reading fluency is increased through this process. Please
listen
and read with your child every day. Also, when you are reading, try to act
as
a model for your children. Help them to recognize and use strategies that
you
use as a reader (segmenting words, re-reading for comprehension, etc).
Encourage your children to read a variety of texts and discuss the reading
with your child. Always strive to ask questions related to comprehension and
work to promote understanding of the text.
Additionally, please work to share the joy of reading with your children. I
firmly believe that reading is a subject that unlocks success in other areas
of academics.
--------------------------------------
When may I conference with the teacher?
You may meet with me during my planning (P.E) time, which is from 11:45-
12:30
daily. If you have a concern please do not hesitate to contact me via
email, note, or personal meeting. Then, we can work out a time that is
convenient for the both of us.
--------------------------------------
May I work as a volunteer in the Zebra room?
Volunteers are always welcome! Volunteers will be working with individual
students on specific reading skills in the room. The Zebra class welcomes
volunteers from 8:15-9:15 AM to work specifically on reading skills. If you
feel that this time would fit in your schedule ... please let me know and I
will place you on the schedule.
Also, if this time does not work for you we would certainly welcome readers
to share during brain break and special occasions. Please let me know
if/when you are available and we will work to find a time for you!
One last opportunity ... we are always looking for helping hands on big
projects (cutting, gluing, etc.), which can be done at home. If these
flexible hours work better for you and you want to serve as a volunteer in
this light ... let me know!
We work better together!
--------------------------------------
Can I send a special snack for my child's birthday?
Yes, please feel free to send in a snack for your child's birthday. Remember
to send in enough for us all and please pre-cut the items so that the snack
will be easier to distribute. It might be a good idea to send in plates/cups
if they are required. We will share during our snack/recess time, which is
from 1:20-1:35 daily.
