Ms. Parker’s Class

Homework
Homework will begin coming home in MOOSE books beginning next Monday. Activities will be sent home on Monday and due the following Friday. This was students and families have the week to complete the assignments.
We have started our phonics lessons. You will notice that there is a homework portion on the back of the sheet. Please take the opportunity to practice these important concepts with your child, but it DOES NOT need to be returned to school.
Absences
Please be sure to send a note to school excusing your child from any absences. In order for me to excuse it, I must have a written note or a message from the office. It is very hard for me to remember when people tell me verbally, so please write it down. Thanks!!
Popcorn for the Playground
All proceeds for the popcorn this year will be going towards playground equipment. So don’t forget your 50 cents or $7 prepay for the year. Our 1st popcorn day is Friday 9-21-12!!
Book Orders
Book orders have been placed. We will look for them in about a week. For future reference our online parent code is H49KH (it does say Jill Baker, but you do have the correct classroom) and remember to make checks payable to Scholastic. Thank you for putting books in our students hands!!

It has been a fantastic beginning to the 2012-2013 school year. We have an awesome class of first graders that are already having fun and learning together. I can’t wait to see what this year holds for these wonderful friends!
I am always available for you to contact. The best way to catch me is by email (jparker@casdk12.net), so drop me a line anytime. If you prefer the phone call me at school or on my cell phone (texting is doable too). I am trying to keep our website up to date, however, I seem to be hitting a few glitches, so please bare with me as I get the site flowing smoothly. I hope everyone has a great week!!!

Snack
There seems to be a bit of confusion with the way that we do snack in our classroom. Instead of assigning a snack day on a calendar I ask that each family send in a snack for the class at the beginning of each month. This way we have a snack supply ready and waiting for us. Please send healthy snacks that will feed 22 children. If you have any questions regarding snack, feel free to contact me. Thank you to those families that have already sent snack in for September! We really appreciate it!
Emergency and Internet Forms
If you have not yet sent in your emergency or internet permission forms, please do so asap.
