Change in Quarter 3:
At this point in the year many students are ready to break free of our guided support within the classroom and be independent with their work. This is great as this independence will help them be successful in their next grade. We will begin pulling away these supports slowly to show students they are capable of much more than they realize. However, change can sometimes be scary for the little ones and they may feel frustrated or upset at first that we do not supply them with all the answers. Please be patient with them and their feelings as they navigate the new changes in the classroom. That being said with independence comes huge growth, and we know that each and every student will rise to the challenge and become first grade rockstars! Please read the following letters carefully with your child so they are aware of the changes!
