Mrs. Schoner's Class Web Page
A big thanks to Karlin Baker for typing our class list for everybody! Yay!! Hope you all got your copy from email. This will be helpful for all of us.
Please note that from now on I will not be allowed to let children hand out any birthday party invitations at school. This rule is stated in the Thrasher handbook, which is online. I need to follow this rule consistently.
Full water bottles and your child's backpack don't mix!! :) We have already have a few spills and it can be rough on agenda mates and library books. Let your child hand carry the water bottle in to school. It would be helpful if you write your child's name on it with a permanent marker.
Lunch: 10:45-11:10 every day
Recess: 1:00-1:25 every day
Related Arts 12:10-12:55 each day as scheduled-
Monday: Music
Tuesday: Computer Lab
Wednesday: Art
Thursday: PE
Friday: Library and it's also Ice Cream day in the cafeteria for 1st grade!!
Please remember to send a sweater or light jacket for your child to wear inside while the AC is on.
Also, please make sure your child has a flip-top water bottle. Juice is not necessary for snack-time. Please make sure the snacks are not messy... i.e syrupy, sticky. Socks and tennis shoes are definitely the preferred footwear for your child's comfort and safety.
Please remember to INITIAL your child's agenda mate every night, so I'll know you have seen his/her assignments and also any notes I may have written to you.
Thank you for all your afternoon transportation notes. They are very helpful for your child and me so we don't make any mistakes at dismissal time.
Classroom volunteers will begin the first full week after Labor Day. I will be setting up the schedule very soon and you will receive a copy, so you will know when your day is. The time will be 9:30-10:30.
Math: Please refer to the FAMILY LETTER at the beginning of each chapter found in the Home Links (math homework book) for easy reference to what we are currently doing in math. We are nearing the end of chapter 1.
Reading: Please read aloud to your child in addition to him/her reading aloud to you each night. After I finish assessing each child's reading ability, I will send home an appropriate reader to be used at home for homework. Please be patient as it takes time to listen to each individual student read aloud.
Writing: The writing folders are wonderful. Thank you for taking the time to make these special for your child!
We will begin a unit on Veterbrates and Invertebrates when we come back to school after Labor Day. This will be incorporated into our Literacy Block and Work Stations.
Please refer to the Helpful Hints I sent home on Parents' Night.
