Back to School
Hope everyone has had a fun filled summer. Welcome back to the school routine. It is off to a rolling start already. My goal is to make this a rewarding, challenging, exciting and fun school year. As an educator, it is my job not only to teach but to help your child become a lifelong learner. We have had a wonderful and very busy first week of school. We have started off by getting to know each other and our classroom. For the next two weeks we will be learning about color and number words. We will also begin reading and sight words. Our main goals for the first few weeks are to get to know the daily schedule, and also the rules and expectations in the first grade. Hopefully the first graders self-confidence will grow as they learn their way around. I will be doing a lot of observing and getting to know each childs strengths and weaknesses. I am super excited about the awesome group I have this year!
Parent Involvement
In October I will start having volunteers. Closer to October I will send a schedule home for those who would like to help. In order for me to better communicate with you, I would like to have every parents email. Please email me with your childs name as the subject, include your name and contact information. Email is the easiest way to get a hold of me. I check it twice a day, before and after class.
Reading Homework
Reading homework will consist of you reading to your child every night. I will also include reading material for your child to read. Please read the material until your child is fluent reading it. You may need to read it several times during the week in order for this to happen. I will provide a reading chart for you to fill out and return every Friday. This reading homework will help us meet the reading standard goals for first grade. Reading Standard Goal 1.7: Acquire Fluency. Reading at least 150 regular and irregular sight words and reading aloud fluently.
I look forward to working with all of you so that together we can make this year both enjoyable and time filled with learning. Please do not hesitate to contact me. No question is a waste of my time and I am happy to help.
