Hege's  Hedgehogs

Thanks for visiting our First Grade Classroom 

Wow!!! I am so excited to have your child in my classroom this year. I can't wait to see their faces when they learn something for the first time. First grade is such a milestone and is one of the most important grades as your child will get their foundations. I am blessed to have the opporunity to lead them into their learning adventure. Please come back to this site often as I will have all sorts of important things for you!

Rules

As part of our morning routine at Hanford Dole, we recite the pledge below. This year I have decided that our classroom rules are going to be the same as the school rules. Students know these rules by heart and they know that in order to have a wonderful school day they must abide by them. 

3 R's Pledge

Respect- I will show respect for myself and others. 

Responsibility- I will be responsible for my actions.

Right Thing- I will do the right thing. 

Things that we can do in our classroom to have a terrific day are as follows;

I can raise my hand to speak.

I can listen carefully to the teacher when she is teaching.  

I can follow directions the first time they are given. 

I can respect my classroom by keeping my area clean.

 I can turn in my homework and other work during the day.

I can always do my best.

Classroom Procedures

Thursday Folders- We will send these home on Thursdays and they are expected back on Friday. Please review your child's work for the week and feel free to keep it. There will also be important communication from our school included.

Visitors- We always welcome visitors at Hanford Dole Elementary. Please know that in order to maximize student learning we need to know in advance of any visit so that it does not cause a disruption to our students. Also, if you want to eat lunch with your child please visit the office for a visitor's tag and come on down. Parents will not come back to the classroom after lunch as we will be working very hard. Thank you.

Homework- Students will receive their homework on Monday and it will need to be turned in on Thursday. Your child will learn how important responsibility is by turning this in on Thursday.

Agenda- You will need to sign this each and every night. This is such an imporant tool in communication during the year. I will check this daily for your signature as well as if you have left me any notes. I look forward to your notes and also getting to send them home to you.

Baggie Books- Each day your child will receive a book based on their DRA levels. This is the book we will use for Reading at Home as well as during our silent reading time. You will need to read this book to them and also listen to then read the book to you. Please sign the log and return it each day. We will then get them a new book when they return the next day.
