Greetings First Grade Families!

August 2012
Dear Families,

SUMMER-I hope you are enjoying your summer.  My family and I have been busy camping, playing at the beach, reading, trying to grow a garden, working around the house and visiting with friends and family.

SUPPLIES- I am getting excited about the start of school and wanted to let you know I will purchase the supplies your child will need to begin the year.  Please send a check for $10 made out to Williams-Cone School on the first day of school.
If your child is excited about going shopping for school supplies, please consider setting up a workspace at home with special pencils, crayons, a tub to keep home letters and library books.

TIME & LOCATION-The first day of school is Tuesday, September 4.  School runs from 8:55-3:15.  Every Wednesday, school runs from 9:55-3:15.  Our classroom is #4.  We are located directly across the hall from Ms. Dutton’s Kindergarten class.

LUNCH-Hot lunch (includes a milk) is $2.35.  Milk is $.50.  Please place lunch money in an envelope marked with your child’s name and teacher.  It also helps me if the envelope says…”lunch money.”

SNACK-Each morning we will take time to refuel with a snack.  Please be sure to send a healthy snack to school each day.

    Items to have on the first day:
    ____    a healthy snack
    ____    a check for $10.00 made out to Williams-Cone School
    ____    the first grade bus information sheet
    ____    a 4 x 6 photo of you (to leave in the classroom)

    Extra items we can always use (send any day):
    ____    Ziploc bags (any size)
    ____    tissues
    ____    pencils  (Ticonderoga pencils sharpen/last the best)
    ____    snack to share  (for times when kids/families forget)
        for example:  granola bars, crackers, fruit cups, pretzels, animal crackers, etc.

Enjoy the rest of your summer.  Please send me an email before school starts to share anything that would be helpful for me to know to start the year.

Sincerely,



Mrs. Dana Greenleaf
