October Homework Choice Board
The October Homework Choice Board is packed with fun and engaging activities to help your fabulous Firstie soar in a variety of ways. We encourage every first grader to do 4 activities a week from the Choice Board. Please take a picture each week of your child doing his/her favorite activity for that week. Then, email the picture(s) to your child's teacher with "Homework" in the subject line. It's that easy to submit your child's homework! By the end of the month, your child's teacher should have 4 pictures of your cute kiddo doing his/her homework. Homework is fun in first grade! :)
October Reading Log and Speller's Choice Menu
Please help your first grader record his/her reading minutes on the October reading log. At the end of the month, total your child's reading minutes and sign the log. You may send it back with your child or take a picture of it and email it to your child's teacher. Thank you so much for helping your growing reader! :)
On the other side of the October reading log, you will find the October "Speller's Choice Menu". This menu offers a variety of ideas and activities that can help your child practice the spelling words that are a bit more challenging for him/her each work. The children do NOT need to do all of these activities with all of the words. These are OPTIONAL activities that may be helpful to practice trickier spelling words. They are just given as a helpful resource, if you would like to use them.

Special First Grade Door at Northridge
ATTENTION FIRST GRADERS AND FAMILIES: To prevent a school-wide crowd of students entering and exiting the same doors at school start and dismissal times, Northridge has designated "Grade Level" doors for each grade level to enter and exit the building before and after school. First grade students should use the "First Grade Doors" that are pictured below. When facing the building, they are to the right of the main front doors.
IMPORTANT: If a first grader is supposed to meet an older sibling or other students to walk or go home, PLEASE make sure they meet at these doors and NOT outside of classrooms. Thank you so much for your help and support with this new habit! :)
