Disability Sensitivity/ Awareness Lessons

Today we had our first 15 minute monthly lesson from the special education staff.  In an effort to educate our Snow students about the disabilities they may observe, we will be having monthly lessons about various disabilities.  We also want to teach sensitivity so that we are including our friends who have disabilities and understanding their actions.  October is ADHD Awareness month and this month’s lesson focused on ADHD Awareness.  Students learned about this disability and were educated why students may act different from them.  When we understand, we can better work together.    You may hear your child talking about a famous person who had ADHD or what it looks like.

Reading Homework

Good afternoon,

Please be sure that your child is reading each evening.  15-20 minutes is just enough time to sharpen reading skills.  Students do not have to read all of the books that I put in their book bags.  They may also read books from home, library books and/or go on Myon.com.

Please be sure to sign your child’s reading log each evening.  Book bags are due on Fridays.

Thank you for your support at home.

Dear 1st Grade Parents,

 

Our field trip is tomorrow.  Please dress for the weather.  It will probably be a good idea to pack an umbrella and wear waterproof shoes or boots.  Please send a lunch with a disposable drink.  Lunch bags should be labeled with student names on them.

Chaperones, please meet in our classroom shortly after the bell.  I will give you a list of students who you will be watching for the day.  Maps will be available.  You may choose to carpool with other parents or follow the bus.  Siblings are not allowed.  Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to join us!

 

Thank you for your cooperation,

First Grade Teachers
