Hello Parents! Welcome to my page! I am so happy you found our class website.

My name is Mrs. Martinez and I am so excited to be a part of Perdew’s First Grade Team! More importantly, I am THRILLED to be your child’s teacher. First grade is such a fun and exciting year! I can't wait to see your children grow as readers, writers, mathematicians, and critical thinkers. This will be a year full of lots of learning, new friends, and new adventures. I can’t wait to learn more about your kiddos as we navigate this new year together.

Back to School Night Presentation

Here is the link to my Back to School Night presentation in case you were not able to attend. If you have any questions, please email me or send me a message via Rooms.

Announcements

  • 1st graders often have a hard time understanding lunch choices!  Please be sure to talk to your child about whether they are having HOT LUNCH or LUNCH FROM HOME each day. 

  • Also, it might be helpful to pack their snack separately and label it "SNACK " so that they don't accidentally eat it during lunchtime (Snack time is in the afternoon at 12:55).

  • Please make sure your child knows where they will be picked up after school. They will either go to child care, the back gate (behind the school), or to the first grade gate (located at the side parking lot).
