Hello Wilburn Families
- Snacks – Please be sure you child packs a healthy snack every day. We will have snack during Daily 5 in the morning and then have lunch at 12:15.
- White T-Shirts – Please have your child bring in a white t-shirt to tie dye or decorate for school field trips. Make sure you have your child’s name on the inside of the shirt with a sharpie.
- DOT Folder – Please be sure your child is bringing their DOT folder every day to school. This is the way I communicate with behavior and work done in class. I encourage you to discuss behavior and work in the classroom with your child.
- Homework – Please be sure you are reading with your child 20 minutes every day. Be sure to ask them to retell the story including characters, setting and events (beginning, middle and end). Your child should be on a reading level J by the end of 1st grade. Please e-mail me if you have any questions on your child’s reading level. Students should be reading their reading book every night and returning it on Friday.

- Field Trip Permission Slips – We must have signed permission slips for the field trip by September 28th, 2017. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer for the field trip, you must get cleared through Wake County in order to volunteer.
- Earbuds: Please bring in earbuds for your child along with their name on it (use a piece of tape to write their name). We will be using the earbuds for listen to reading with ipods in the next week.
