Hello and Welcome to our class website!

Classroom Mission Statement

Our classroom mission is to learn to read, write, and understand math. We will strive to build responsibility and independence. We will accomplish this by working hard all year and trying our best, listening and following directions, being kind, respectful, and helping others! First Grade is an exciting and important time for learning and developing new skills as the base for future educational experiences.

Any important class information and homework will be posted here each week. Also, please check and sign your child's agenda each night!

 Spring is  here...  Please continue to practice math facts, high frequency words and read daily with your child. Remind students to use the strategies we have learned when they come to a word they don't know. The Leprechaun traps were wonderful! They have been on display in the library for the whole school to see! I am very proud of the students and their hard work!

 Homework

• Students are encouraged to read/be read to each night for 10 minutes. A book will be sent home on Monday and should be returned by Thursday. They can color a bone on their Pizza Hut "Book It!" chart each night during the week to help work towards their free pizza! One Book Report is due every week by Friday.         
• Review and practice spelling/high frequency words and math skills.These will be sent home on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
• Special projects will be assigned throughout the year.
