Welcome to 

Ms. Phillips'
1st grade 

We're WILD about learning

Where I Learn Daily

  

I am very excited to be teaching 1st grade this year! We will all experience a lot of fun in learning this year! 

***********************************************

We will be reading our leveled readers in class during the week. These stories are on your child's reading level. Students will then bring home the reading book on Thursdays.  PLEASE make sure you write down this story and ANY other books your child reads at home in the reading log.
The leveled readers will not come home as we are limited on these copies. 
Please read with your child each night! Please record all texts read in the reading log then sign and date these so your child will get credit for these books!
PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD BRINGS THEIR READING LOG AND LIBRARY BOOKS TO SCHOOL EACH DAY!!!!! We need to be able to conference with your child on a daily basis so your child may receive more mileage towards our reading miles!


***********************************



We are using EnVision Math again this year. At the beginning of each unit a parent letter will go home in the front pocket of the agenda. This letter will let you know what your child will be working on. It will have vocabulary words and examples of what is to be coming home. Please keep these and look at these from time to time. Math homework is usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays. PLEASE make sure you help your student with the FRONT and the BACK of math sheets!!

We will also focus on math facts. Students will work with different facts each week and take timed tests on Fridays. 


********************************************


We will begin working on our Multicultural night festivities next week! The country we are studying is Egypt!  Look for papers coming home soon!
