Mrs. Sowards' Class

I am so excited to be your child's first grade teacher this year. We are going to have a wonderful time and I can't wait to meet your precious first grader. I have four children of my own, my oldest, Hanna, is also a teacher. I know this year is different from any other we have experienced but we will get through this and your child will flourish. You may reach me at 936-645-6719 or call Trout Elementary. My conference time is and I will be happy to meet with you if you have any concerns. Thank you for allowing me to teach your child.

Each week we will have a spelling test. On Monday they will have the list in their take home folder. I encourage your child to write each word twice and you two discuss what the word means and put it in a sentence while you are visiting.

Reading is very important. Spend a few minutes each night reading together. You will find that your child will begin to read to you more and more but reading to them is just as important.

Math work will be going home from time to time. Please work with your child and ensure that they understand the concept we are working on at the time.

We will use Class Dojo for parent communication and some class assignments.

Parents, Brain Pop is a great source of videos and quizzes to learn and review what we have already been over in class. https://www.brainpop.com/
