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!

Our Class Valentine's Day Party will be on Friday, February 12th at 1:00 p.m. Please bring a Valentine card for everyone in the class. We will exchange cards and have some delicious treats! Also, there will be school on Monday, February 15th. It is a make-up day...
