Our Classroom
Our classroom may look at little different than what we are used to, but it is filled with LOVE! My family spent lots of hours making "super shields" to protect you from yucky germs. Since we can't use the drinking fountains right now, each of you also has your very own personalized water bottle! :) You also have a cool green lanyard to keep your mask nearby, so it doesn't get lost or drop on the ground. Some of us may be in our classroom in person and some may be learning online, but one thing is for sure...we are a TEAM of fabulous first graders - wherever we are!
We are going to have a lot of fun this year in first grade! :)
I love you!
Love,
Mrs. Crandall

Reading/Writing and Math Tool Kits
You each have your very own Reading and Writing Tool Kit and Math Tool Kit. These cool kits are filled with "tools" (not "toys") that will help you become an even better reader, writer, and problem solver! These are yours to KEEP - forever and ever! You will keep them in your backpack to use at school and to take home with you every day. PLEASE be sure to bring them to school EVERY DAY. We will use all of the tools throughout the year. Thank you so much for taking care of these supplies.

AWESOME Online Resources!
Lexia Love
Lexia is still a key part of our first grade literacy program. It offers effective activities that strengthen every reader's skills, no matter his or her reading level, because it focuses on individual needs. The kiddos know that they should do at least 3 units a day (if possible) on Lexia. Our goal is to reach Level 10, by the end of first grade. Second grade skills start at Level 10, so if your child goes beyond Level 9, that is great, too! With the large amounts of students accessing Lexia at this time, the app and/or website may have a few glitches here and there. This should smooth out soon. Thank you so much for guiding your child to work as independently on Lexia as possible, so that it truly meets his or her literacy needs. If your child does not remember his or her login information, that's okay! I will make sure they have soon, so they can get started. :)

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
IMPORTANT: Please CLICK HERE to read our class disclosure document. This answers many questions.
Q. What supplies does my child need for school?
A. I provide everything your child will need for first grade (pencils, crayons, glue, highlighter, dry erase marker, large eraser, pencil sharpener, folders, notebook, pencil box, etc.) I know that students like to bring new supplies to school, but this year, I am asking that those special items be kept at home for homework and home-based projects and activities. This is because one of the great things about first graders is that they love to share their new supplies with friends, and though this is amazingly wonderful, it is not safe at this point in time. Thank you so much for your support with this!
Q. Is there an "Early Out Day" this year?
A. No, not a specific day. Due to the modified schedule to prevent the spread of COVID, every day (Monday - Friday) will follow our usual "Early Out Day" schedule of years past, with Early Birds (AM Track) starting school at 8:00 AM and going home at 1:15 PM, and Later Gators (PM Track) starting school at 9:15 AM and going home at 2:30 PM.
Q. Are face coverings (masks or face shields) really required?
A. Yes. Every student and adult who enters the Northridge building is required to have a face covering. I will provide a mask to any child or adult who does not have one, while they are at school. If your child is not able to wear a face covering or if you would prefer that he or she didn't wear a face covering, please contact the Northridge office, BEFORE before your child enters our classroom. Thank you!
Q. Does my child need a backpack?
A. Yes, every child in my class needs to bring his or her backpack every day. Remember the "Tool Kits". :)
Q. Are you having classroom volunteers?
A. I LOVE having classroom volunteers! They make a wonderful and valuable difference in our classroom. That is why it has been a hard decision to put incorporating classroom parent volunteers "on hold", for at least a couple of weeks. We have classroom aides that will be helping in our class daily. We also have parent volunteers who will help in the lunchroom the first week of school, but as far as daily/weekly classroom volunteers, I want to get our schedule and routine into a good system first and make sure everything is going well, with everyone's safety and health a top priority. Thank you for your willingness to help!
UPDATE: Classroom volunteers are helping daily in our room! Hooray! If you are able and interested, please let me know. Thank you so much! :)
