VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Water Donations-We love to drink water during the day. We love to keep our mind and body hydrated!
Pencil Sharpeners-I will send home a plastic baggie with a bunch of pencils which will need to be sharpened. Please completed the volunteer form and return with the sharpened pencils. The form is the way I document your volunteer hours. Send me an email or Dojo message and I will send a bag with your student that afternoon.
Sight Word Wednesday Parent Helper-Wednesday is our new sight words day. Students will write each sight words on an index card. Here's where you would come in! I need a parent or two, who will hole punch the set of five words (we do 5 each week) and add it to each students individual sight word ring of words. I've been doing it myself and it has been time consuming!
Another solution can be, I can send home packs of index cards and you can hole punch them at home and them back. So the students can write on already hole punched cards and it will be easier to add to their rings. If you understood that and are willing to help, send me a Dojo or email message. Thank you.
Word Study Copy Parent-This will be a once a week job. You would copy the word study worksheet for my word study groups. Let me know if you would be interested in that job.
Thank you. Have a great weekend.
Please don't forget to send in $6.00 for your students' agenda book. You may have received a reminder on Class Dojo. Thank you for the families who have already paid for the agenda book.
Our class has 100% participation with Class Dojo! Thank you!
Homework Reminder: Your student should read 20 minutes every school night.
Thank you!

Dear Families,
Our class is learning about an important Porter tradition- Star Qualities. We use Star Qualities to help use make good choices and to always do our personal best. We are working on the Star Qualities of responsibility and respect. We are expected to be responsible and to show respect to ourselves, others, and (class, school, and student) property. Your student will be expected to demonstrate their Star Qualities throughout the school day. Please ask your student about our Star Qualities and remind them to use their Star Qualities of responsibility and respect every day.
Here a few helpful updates for our class.
1) if your student is wearing a sweater or hooded sweat jacket to school, please remember it should be in one of Porter's uniform colors-Red, White, Blue, Black. This is only referring to the sweaters or hoodies your student will wear in our classroom/inside the school. There are no color restrictions on outerwear. Your student can not keep their outerwear on inside the classroom. Please feel free to have your student bring an extra sweater to leave at school. Sometimes our classroom gets a little chilly. Thank you!
2) Can you help sharpen pencils? If you send me an email or Dojo message stating you can sharpen pencils, I will send a plastic baggie home with your student. Please fill out and return the form enclosed in the baggie when you return the sharpened pencils. The form documents the time you spent sharpening and it will count towards your volunteer hours. Thank you!
3) I have a copying and laminating job for any interested parent. Please send me a Dojo message or email and I will happily show you how our laminating machine works and you can also cut out the laminated pages for our class. Thank you!
4) Water donations are needed for our class. If you send one case, it counts as 1 hour of volunteer time. Thank you!
5) If you send your student with a snack, please plan to send a healthy snack. Students can bring yogurt and a spoon, fruit, crackers, pretzels, cheese, oatmeal/raisin cookies, fruit snacks, fruit cups, cereal bars, etc. If your student has chips, Cheetos, Doritos, sugary cookies, candies, etc. I will ask your student to save it for lunch. We also encourage drinking water during the day, especially at snack time. Juice will be saved for lunch time. Our snack time is after Milers @11:10. Our lunch time is at 12:50.
6) If you have not done so already, please send in your $6.00 fee for the agenda notebook. Thank you to everyone who has already paid for their student's agenda.
7) Finally, please remember 1st grade homework is to read every night for 20 minutes.
Thank you!
Ms. Chapman
