Hello Families! 
First, I would like to thank everyone for attending our “Back-to-School Night” last Tuesday evening. I was so glad to be able to chat about first grade. If you could not make it that evening, I have send the slides via email. Many of the photos on the slides have links for you to have additional information too. 
This week we had our first full week of school! The students did well with the longer day. We ebbed and flowed throughout our day with brain breaks to get our energy out and refocus when needed. I am very proud of them! We worked on our routines and have filled up our “Sparkle Bucket”! We add our sparkles to the bucket when we do kind things, listen to the lesson being taught, or manage our behavior as needed during transition times. Way to go first grade!
The shsvta24 Instagram is live! Please consider following! I also created our class Instagram: mrsdriscollshs. It will have photos that I have shared with you for easy viewing.   
Conferences begin Tuesday! I look forward to meeting with families this week. Monday is Labor Day and we have no school. Tuesday-Friday we will have noon dismissal. Families have been assigned their conference times. Please contact the office if you need to make any changes. During half days we will not have PE or Music.
 

 Have a great week!     
Mrs. Driscoll
