First Grade Family,

Our school year is off to a great start. I am looking forward to working with your child each day to help him/her have a successful year in first grade.

Here are some suggestions for you at home:

*Read to your child or let them read to you and ask them questions about what has been read.

*Encourage your child to write words and sentences when possible.

*Let your child count as far as possible daily-up to 100.

*Check your child's folder each day for notes, classwork, and homework.

Our math program is new this year and your child may not always have homework. Please check his/her folder daily for math homework to complete and return the next day. Phonics homework will be sent home Monday-Thursday.
