Welcome to Mrs. Dippold's First Grade Class!

Wow, I can't believe it's that time of year again!  For me, the start of the school year brings excitement, nerves, new goals, and new beginnings - and most importantly, a new class of eager first graders!  I can't wait to get to know my wonderful new students!!!

I hope you will check our classroom blog often.  I'll post important news, special dates, what we are learning, and best of all, lots of pictures of what's been happening in our room!

The Back-to-School Open House is on Thursday, August 6th.  Stop by anytime between 5:00 and 6:30pm and say hello, check out your child's new classroom, and drop off school supplies.  It is extremely helpful to me if you have pencils already sharpened and everything labeled with your child's name or initials (scissors, glue, notebooks.... yes, even individual markers and crayons, eeek!).

On Back-to-School Night, the students usually love getting a preview of their new room, sitting at their very own desk, and finding their name on the hallway bulletin board and around the classroom.  It also eases some anxiety prior to the first day of school.  I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the new school year on Thursday evening, or you may email me anytime at jessalyn.dippold@fhsdschools.org.

I look forward to seeing you, and especially your wonderful first grader, on Thursday evening!

Enjoy the remaining days of summer!  The real fun begins on August 11th - the first day of First Grade!  I'm excited!  :)
