Conference Week
Posted by Amy Petrini on 11/8/2023Here are a few things to know for conferences:- Please be on time. I have a very tight schedule and will have to keep to it.
- This conference is for the adults only. Your child will wait outside of my classroom if they need to come with. This will allow for uninterrupted time for us to discuss their progress.

Week of October 9th
Posted by Amy Petrini on 10/13/2023Hello Families,
Here are a few reminders/important info:
- Birthdays- we will celebrate with your child's favorite book. You may also choose to buy a copy of the book, sign and date, and donate for their special day. I will also give them a birthday bracelet. We will not celebrate with treats. Thanks!
- Trips- you will need to fill out paperwork for your child if they will miss more than 3 days of school. I appreciate knowing either way, even if you are picking up your child early for just the day.
- Short week- we will only have school M-W next week.
Thanks and have a great weekend.

Week of October 2
Posted by Amy Petrini on 10/6/2023Hello Families:Here are a few quick notes:- This week we had a lesson in our school garden with a couple of farmers from Garden City Harvest/PEAS Farm. They made vegetable "rainbow" soup for us. Your child has a copy of the recipe in their folder today.
- Book orders were sent home today. Please order by next Friday if you are interested. It is easiest to order online, but you are welcome to send a check with your child if that is easier for you.
- Next week is PE. Our soccer field has been very muddy. If possible, make sure that your child has a back up pair of shoes to wear just for PE.
- Water bottles get sent home every Friday. Make sure that it is cleaned and ready to bring back on Monday.
- This month we are focusing on RESPONSIBILITY. Please see attached letter about ways you can extend this trait into your home lives.
Thanks and have a great weekend.

- PEAS Farm is on Wednesday at 1:15.
- Birthdays- invites can only be sent home if the whole class is invited. Our school policy also includes no treats- due to allergies and loss of instructional time. Your child may bring a special book to read and/or donate to our class library to celebrate their special day.

Hello and Welcome!
Posted by Amy Petrini on 8/28/2023August 28, 2023
Dear Families of First Graders,
Hello! I am so excited to have your child in my classroom this year.
I look forward to getting to know you and your child. Our first week we will work on building community, reviewing school rules and procedures as well as setting expectations in our classroom for an ideal learning setting. On Wednesday I will be sending home a few forms needed by myself and the school. Please complete and return as soon as you are able to.
I hope you’ll be able to come by and say a quick hello on Tuesday night, during Back to School Night from 5:00-6:00. Please use this time to find your child’s cubby and place their supplies in their designated areas around my room. I will attach my supply list at the end of this letter. There are some mistakes that were listed for our grade level but my class website is updated and includes items needed. I will have extra supplies for the first days of school so no worries if you don’t have everything right now.
Please see my staff page on our school website for updated information and more about me.
Amy Petrini
Here are a few highlights from my summer:
I ran into a former student and his brother when I visited Santa Barbara. He was in one of my very first classes and is now 27!
Collecting beach glass is one of my favorite things to do when visiting the ocean.
I spent lots of time on the river, roller skating, puzzling, hiking, and visiting and catching up with friends and family.
***My daughter just pointed out that I don’t have a group shot of my family that includes all of us from this summer. I’ll add an updated pic of my family to my webpage later. (My oldest just got his wisdom teeth out on Friday and is still quite swollen so it will be a few days or more).

Class Book and Library Fines
Posted by Amy Petrini on 6/1/2023Hello Families,
Our class has been hard at work on creating a story for publication. Our book is about a first grade rattlesnake who wants to lose her tooth. (Please ask your child for more details.) Each child has at least 3 contributions with words and artwork in our book. Unfortunately, I am quite late with getting it to the company for publication. It should be ready about mid June. In the past I have given it to students at the beginning of second grade or before school let out. This year I was thinking that I could drop it off at your house if you would like to receive it before then. I will be sending home order forms and envelopes with your child today. Please fill out the form and send it back to me ASAP but no later than Monday. I need the form back even if you do NOT want to buy one. Please also let me know if you would like to sponsor a book for a child in our class so that everyone can have their own copy. I assure you that they love getting their own book. This will be my 4th year in a row doing it.
I also sent home past due notices for the library. Please return and/or pay for your child's book before school lets out.
