Welcome to Ms. Lepine's First Grade page!
First Grade is a fun year in school. We will cover A LOT of information, review, and master our curriculum. We will also work on social skills, such as, SELF-CONTROL, COOPERATION, RESPONSIBILITY and many more. I am so happy to spend this school year with your and your family! My goal during our experience together is for your child to show growth emotionally and academically. I can't wait to work together to provide the best First Grade school year for you and your child!

NEWS FLASH:
We have some MAJOR curriculum changes this school year!
In Reading will be using both "Into Reading" and "Reading Mastery" as our curriculums. We will be using the "Into Reading" writing component to help our readers become writers too!
In Math we are moving to iReady!! It's an exciting new program that uses whole group, small group, differentiated lessons, and technology. The program creates individual pathways for EACH student. This allows us to both support and challenge all of students every day in VERY PURPOSEFUL ways.
In Science we will continue to explore with StemScopes.
In Social Studies will continue to investigate history with our magical newspapers and Studies Weekly program.
We will be having our Specials Enrichment classes everyday. Students will experience Music, Art, PE, and Reading Enrichment.
With our Morning Meetings, we are working on Social Skills and identifying needs for interventions. We have a lot of fun planned this first quarter.
Remember, we are team and GTE is your family. We have amazing resources to support you and your entire family. If there is anything your, you can easily reach me at andrea.lepine@ccboe.net or through SeeSaw. I will always respond as soon as I possibly can.
