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.

Parent/Teacher Conferences begin this week. Check your child's agenda for your scheduled time. Thank you for your support! 

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