 Library Time!

Parents!

Grade 1 will be visiting the library every Wednesday and Friday and will be coming home with two (2) new books every week. Please help your child to read and understand these books and be ready for their Accelerated Reader Test (A.R.).

It truly helps if you take a few minutes to review each book with them and ensure that they are able to comprehend what they read. These weekly tests will also help them to gain A.R. points to shop in the A.R. Store each time it is open this school year.

First Baptist Christian School Grade One

Welcome to the first grade family! I am very excited to be teaching your child and I am looking forward to a very successful year. I thought this note would be helpful in explaining a couple of things that will be happening throughout the year.   Spelling words – Your child will be required to learn spelling words each week for a test on Friday.  I am using a textbook with daily activities to assist the children in learning to spell the words and the meanings and uses of these.  I will send the words home every Friday, starting this week. The spelling words for next week have the short ‘a’ sound.  Please help your child to practice these words each evening. The spelling book will sometimes be sent home. Please have your child complete the activity page and return the book the following day or on Monday each week. There will be a spelling test every Friday starting next week. Bible Verse – Your child will be required to study one Bible verse each week. This will be sent home every Friday. Memory verse is 40% of Bible grade.   Reward – Our Grade 1 discipline policy this year involves and Stars and Bees and is called “Fly High to get Stars”. The children will be given little stars on their big star if their bee flies up. The higher their bee fly the more stars they’ll get. In order for their bee to fly high they have to be seen doing the “right thing” For example, following directions correctly, listening carefully, finishing their work to the best of their ability, participating in class discussions/activities, lining up quietly and just generally behaving well .  Each time a child gets five little stars, he/she will get a chance to enter the treasure chest and choose a gift. When everyone gets ten stars, they will have a party of their choice. If a child’s behavior is inappropriate or he/she is not following directions, he/she will not be given a little star or have stars removed. NB. These stars are very important. Encourage your child to get as many as possible. Students with the highest number of stars at the end of the year will be rewarded.                                                                                                                                                                               Homework – Your child will be given homework when it is necessary for reinforcement and enrichment. Please ensure that this is done and return the following day. If home work is incomplete, not done or forgotten at home, one of their little stars will be removed. We would encourage you to check your child’s backpack daily for any communications from me or the office.     P.E. – First Grade P.E. days are Tuesdays and Thursdays.Library – Library days are Wednesdays and Fridays.
