Welcome Back!

Happy New Year families! It was WONDERFUL to see my firsties back at school today. I have missed them SO much! We spent our day sharing about all of the fun and memories that were made over winter break. It sounds like a good time was had by all. We reflected about our success last year and learned about the word "resolutions". Ask your first grader to tell you what a resolution is. Your child also spent some time thinking of some new year's resolution of their own. Invite them to share some of their new year goals for themselves! We will continue to talk about our resolutions tomorrow and use our writing to make a New Year craftivity. Can you believe that we have a math test ahead this Friday? Be sure to have your first grader complete their math homework (from before break) and return it to school by Friday. This practice will help freshen the concepts after being on "vacation brain". I am sure your kiddo will be very sleepy this evening. Please help them stay healthy and happy by ensuring they get plenty (or extra) sleep. Getting back into a schedule can be tricky after a break, but it is so important for your child's success. Thank you for all you do to help your child make their last 74 days of first grade (sniff) be amazing.
