Supplies

Thank you for sending in supplies at the beginning of the year!

We are now looking for more Crayola Markers. (The fat and skinny markers would be terrific!)

We are also looking for colorful gel pens to make our writing and spelling even more exciting!

 Thank you! :)

Library Books

Don't forget that Tuesday is Library Day! Please return books so that your child can check out new books for the week. Thank you!

Scholastic Books

Don't forget that our first Scholastic Book Order is due Friday, 9/6. If you need our class code to order online please let me know.

P.E. on MONDAY!!!

It was so nice meeting many of you today! Please remind your child to wear sneakers on Monday since we will be having P.E. The students will be outside, so if it is warm I encourage your children to bring a water bottle. Thank you!

If you are not able to attend “Meet Your New Teacher Day”, please send a note with your child on the first day of school (8/26) letting me know the following information regarding the first few days of school:

• Will your child be getting a snack drink (chocolate milk, white milk, apple juice, or orange juice)?

• How will your child be getting home (bus # or who will be picking them up at school)?

• Will your child be bringing a lunch, or will they have hot lunch?

Welcome 2019-2020 Students

Welcome First Graders and Families!

I am very excited for this school year with you! If you are able to, please e-mail me at eyork@sau16.org so that I can update my address book with your information. Feel free to include your name(s) and your child's name, along with something fun you did over the summer. This will help me to create a mailing list, before school officially starts.
