I've been busy making lists and organizing materials for the new year. We will be using the Core Curriculum in Reading and Math. Which means the children will explore deeper into the skills taught until mastery is met. Our students in Grade One will be receiving letter grades in the subject areas of Reading, Math, Spelling and Language Arts. The first progress report will be sent on September 26th. Conferences are on the calendar for the evenings of November 5th and 6th. There will also be a Book Fair in the Library.
I will send home a packet for parents on our first day of school. Please look over the letters and return any documents that need to be filled out. I'll be looking for parents to help with parties this year! Your child should have received a letter from me inviting them to my Open Class time on Friday, August 24 from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. Hope you can stop in and help your child put their supplies away. This sure makes our first day go smoothly. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. For some, I've taught your parents and perhaps brothers or sisters in your family! For others, this is your first child in Grade One! WELCOME TO THE FIRST GRADE HIVE! We're going to have a fantastic year!
