First Grade--Where You'll Watch Your Child Grow!
First grade is an amazing grade and your child will gain so much this year. I will work alongside of you to offer your child the best learning experience. If you need to contact me, please email me at [email protected], write a note, or call the school at 966-5370.
This year I'm excited to announce our class was chosen to be a part of Classroom Champions. Your child will work with an Olympian or Paralympian mentor throughout the year. Students will have a monthly focus to promote their academic performance and personal growth. For more information, please visit www.classroomchampions.org.

Classroom Homework Policy
Homework is given Monday through Thursday. It includes reinforcement on reading, writing, and math skills. Children will have a "Just Right" book and reading response log to read and fill out including on the weekends.
Weekly Words
Each week your child will have a new set of words. I ask that you work with your child at home using these words. One way to practice is to use the index cards as flash cards. Your child can go through each card and practice reading, spelling, or defining them.
Take-Home Books
Your child is responsible for completing their "Home Reading" log. They can write about any topic on the attached list in their folders (i.e. This book reminds me of, The main character ..., I thought the ending was ..., My favorite part was when...). Discuss the book with your child to guide their thoughts about the book.
