Dear Families: 

Your child has successfully completed their kindergarten year and is now ready to dive into first grade!  

We will begin our Language Arts (reading/writing) with a brief review of what your child learned in kindergarten.

Math will also begin as a review and move into patterns and then basic addition and subtraction.

We cover a variety of subjects for the social studies, science and health curriculum.  The students will be actively involved in hands-on learning activities throughout the year.

Your child will have periodic homework assignments.  Each student will be given a pocket folder to take to and from school on a daily basis.  Please check your child's folder each day and remember to send it back for the following day.  If your child has a homework assignment, it will be clearly marked with "H.W."  First grade does not assign a huge amount of homework, however, we do expect assignments to be completed and returned when requested.  Homework is meant to be a school to home connection for you as the parent to know what your child is learning as well as helping your child to expand their learning and gain some independence. 

Mrs. Guelich
