Good Morning Porter Families!
Thank you for coming out to Back to School Night! If you were unable to attend and you would like to review the presentation, you will find it on our Porter First Grade webpage.
Our 1st Porter fundraising event will take place today at Sweet Frog from 4-10 pm. A portion of the proceeds will go to Porter to help support some of Porter's initiatives. I hope you can make it out for a sweet treat this afternoon/evening!
Finally, Friday is picture day. Students will wear their Porter uniform for picture day. It will be a P.E. day for us. If you want your student to wear a collared shirt for their pictures that will be ok or your student can wear their usual P.E. clothing on Friday. The option is yours! However, please send them wearing their sneakers (tennis shoes). I'm from New York, I always refer to them as sneakers! :) Thank you and Happy Hump Day!

WATER NEEDED!
Water donations would be greatly appreciated. A donation of up to 3 cases of water can earn you 3 volunteer hours. I would prefer the 8 oz sized bottles of water. They are just right for the hands of a first grader. We are having lots of water spills with the big 16 oz. water bottles.
Thank you!

Dear Porter Families,
Just a few updates about our 2nd week of school.
We began handwriting classes with Mrs. Pat!
We are beginning a new phonics program. Please ask your "Phonics Professor"about what we are learning about words!
I have a parent volunteer opportunity. You will need to do part of the work at our school. I will send a Class Dojo message with the details.
We are working hard to learn classroom routines and expectations. We are doing a great job. Thanks for all your support.

Dear Porter Families!
Here a few things you can do with your student at home:
1. Help your student to learn (memorize) their school id number. They will need it when buying breakfast or lunch. They will also use this number regularly when we begin our work on the laptops.
2. If your student can not tie their shoes, please practice this skill at home.
3. Please make sure your student knows their bus number. They will be walking to their buses without me starting Monday, Sept. 9. There will be teachers on outside duty to help but they will be walking with other first graders to their bus at dismissal time.
Thank you!
