Bring Everything Everyday
This is your first graders take home folder. It must be brought to school everyday. Please review the contents with your child DAILY!!! It will contain homework, graded work, and work completed together in class.
Daily Five
The Daily Five is a literacy structure that allows for differentiation in the classroom and provides consistency. It is an integrated literacy instruction and classroom management system for use in reading and writing workshops. It is a system of five literacy tasks that teaches students independence.
Math
We use the Everyday Math Series which is a spiraling curriculum. We supplement this series with Touch Math to help the students with addition and subtraction.
Homework
Reading to and with your child daily is the MOST important homework your child will do. It is important that you read TO your child, and WITH your child. It is also important that your child read with increased independence. A few minutes to start the year, but increasing time as the school year progresses.
