Are you in the giving
mood?
• In addition to the supplies
you sent in, there are a
couple of extra things we
could use in the classrooms.
– For example: bottles of Clorox
wipes, zip lock bags and
baskets.
• Likewise as we continue
throughout the year, we will
be asking for different
materials for different
projects. Thanks in advance
for these extra supplies.

English and Spanish.

of the year celebration
Please make check payable to:
Key School 1st Grade Fund
Library
• Library day is on Friday.
• Students need to bring their books back
on Thursday so that on Friday we will all be
ready to check out.
• If your student forgets to bring their
books on Thursday, please have them bring
it on Friday.
Birthday Celebrations
• Birthdays are fun to celebrate. However, we are short on
time and have to be aware of food allergies. Therefore, if
your child would like to bring in a snack to celebrate his/her
birthday we ask the following:
– We will celebrate birthdays at 2:05pm, which will take
place in your child’s afternoon class.
– Please bring in cupcakes, muffin, cookies, cut up fruit, etc
– If you bring in a drink it must be in individual boxes.
– In addition, if you don’t want to bring food, you could
bring small prizes for the kids (ex. erasers., pencils,
stickers etc.)
* We have a handful of students with serious food allergies
so please be extra mindful when bringing in birthday
treats.
Tally Mark Sheet and
Marble Jar
• Each class has there own tally mark
sheet and marble jar. These two
things are what Miss Valle and I use
for behavior management.
Responsive Classroom
•
Responsive Classroom is a research- and evidence-based approach to
elementary education that leads to greater teacher effectiveness,
higher student achievement, and improved school climate.
•
Teaching practices are based upon
– Knowledge of how children learn developmentally, culturally, and
individually
– Awareness that social and accademic learning go hand in hand.
– The belief that all children want to learn and can learn
– CARES: Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility, Empathy, SelfControl
Outcomes:
- Increases social skills and academic engagement
- Establishes positive classroom climate
- Increases learning investment and independence
- Decreases disruptive behaviors
Classroom Management
Manejamiento del salón
Positive reinforcement/ Hacer lo correcto es enfatizado
Responsible list/ Lista de responsables
Collaborative problem-solving - Work together with students to solve academic
and social problems and teach them skills for solving problems with increasing
independence
Teacher Language - Reinforcing, Reminding, and Redirecting – Using words as
tools to promote learning community, and self-discipline
Logical Consequences – Respond to misbehavior with consequences that are
supportive of students’ efforts to learn how to fix their mistakes
“Take a Break” Chair
In cases of extreme behaviors, we will address administration or school
counselor as necessary.
Fighting, bullying, and threats are
immediately reported to administration.
Spanish Homework
• Each day your child will bring a marble
notebook with Spanish homework glued
on a page and a plastic envelope with
Spanish books. These activities need to
be done daily and returned to school the
next day. I will keep a record of
“completed/ not completed” of the
homework. At the end of each reporting
period they will get a small prize for
completion of homework.
Spanish Homework
• The Spanish homework will consist of Language,
Science and/or Math activities. These
activities relate, build on, reinforce, and/or
enhance learning in the classroom. Parents
should encourage their children to complete the
work neatly and try to the best of their
ability. In addition, students should have 20
minutes of reading or being read to every day,
English or Spanish.
• In the “Sobre de Lectura” kids will bring
Spanish books to read. Every week they will
get new books. Your child must bring to school
everyday the “Sobre de lectura”.
Dismissal
Please e-mail or send in notes for changes in dismissal
for your child before 11 a.m.
• IF AN EMAIL OR NOTE IS NOT SENT, YOUR CHILD
WILL BE SENT HOME AS USUAL. THIS IS THE LAW.
Volunteers Needed
• Volunteers are definitely wanted and
appreciated in our first grade
classroom. There are many different
ways that you can help. Please
complete the form in this handout
and let us know what works for you.
• We will contact you as needed.
