Good morning First Grade Families,
Praying that everyone is doing well! Here is all the information that you and your child will need for this week 2/14-2/18. I ask everyone to please read all the information below to avoid questions that are clearly stated on this email.
Excessive tardies in 1st grade class
Parents, I have been noticing some students have excessive tardies. As a friendly reminder, school begins at 7:50am each morning, students must be in line at 7:50am. Students who arrive after 7:50am are considered tardy. Please allow enough time in the morning for your child to hang their backpack and turn in their folder.
Students may sit on the blue bench or wait on their spot in line. Students should not run around in the morning. There’s only 1 teacher in charge for morning duty and it’s difficult to watch all students if they are running around.
Please remember that daily attendance is part of your child’s work habits grades. This has been discussed since the beginning of the school year. If your child has more than 6 tardies for this trimester, its most likely, will affect their citizenship award. If this continues, it may be a factor for a re-registration hold for next school year. If you have any question with this, please feel free to email me.

Classroom Wishlist
The following supplies are things that the students and I would greatly appreciate, we use these supplies daily in our classroom.
- Baby wipes
- Painters blue tape
- 8×11 printer paper
Math homework
Parents, I have noticed some students doing advance homework or pages. Our math homework is a supplemental activity or practice of what we discussed for the day. These students doing advance homework are getting wrong answers because they are not grasping the concepts of the math lesson. They are also disengaged in class discussion; they think they know because they already do it at home. As much as possible, I would like students to understand the math concept being taught in class and then do a supplemental activity through their homework pages.

- Mon., 2/14- Valentine’s Day- Students may wear red/ pink shirt and JEANS

God Bless,
Ms. Martinez
