Open House

Thank you to everyone that came out for Stoney Creek Elementary's very first Open House!!
Our class had a wonderful turn out, 17 out of 19 students brought their families to Open House. It was so nice to see all the parents I have met in the last few weeks again and to meet all the other parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, grandmas and uncles! When I meet a students family I can really begin to understand the child. 
Some important highlights from Open House in case you were unable to attend ( or unable to hear me). 
  • You may visit the school anytime, please sign in at the office.
  • Lunch is at 10:25 if you would like to come eat with your child.
  • I will grade on a 3,2,1 scale. 
  • 3 means your child consistently meets expectations.
  • 2 means they sometimes meet grade level expectations.
  • 1 means they have not yet meet the grade level expectation.
  • Attendance is very important, first grade builds the foundation of reading.
  • Your child should be getting 9-10 hours of sleep each night
  • You should see and sign their green homework folder every night.
  • Your child should read aloud with someone for at least 15 minutes EVERY night.
If you would like to volunteer you can help by:
  • filing papers in the classroom
  • reading with a student
  • helping students take AR tests
  • making copies
  • donating garden items (email me for a list)
  • bringing in old books for our class library
  • buying something off our target list http://www.target.com/lists/1UW2ANBTX04KS
  • sending in snack for special occasions
Again, thank you for taking the time to come see our new school! I look forward to seeing everyone again for Parent/Teacher conferences in October.

Please email me or post questions to the blog.
