First Grade

Hello Parents and Guardians,

We have had an amazing and successful start to this school year. Your child has been learning routines and a lot of new techniques to help build their math and reading skills in September. We will continue to build those skills throughout the school year. We hope to work together in collaboration to make sure that your child gets all the tools that he or she needs to in order to have a successful year in 1st grade. Please read with your child 15-20 minutes every night. Also, continue to work on sight words that we will introduce them throughout the year.
