Teacher Notes
Hello First Grade Parents!
It is hard to believe that we will be starting 3rd quarter!  This has been a year like no other. :)  I told the students our goal this quarter is no more guessing on words.  We will use our phonics tools and learn our sight words.  They are really starting to take off in reading and this push is what they need right now.  I am proud of how hard they work.
We also have a new student starting Tuesday.  It is always great to add another to our classroom community.  Welcome Carson! We are now a mighty classroom of 20. :)
​Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate through this school year.

 Listed Below are some things to know for this week...
  1. I completely understand that it is hard to sign up as a lunch volunteer. If you are ever able to sign up, I appreciate it. You do receive double service hours. Thank you to those who have been able to.  The students love it when you come in and they like to play games. :)
  2. We practice addition flash cards in the classroom and will begin our subtraction ones once we finish our unit. This is also a great tool to practice at home along with sight word flash cards.
  3. There are a lot of fun activities going on in February. Be on the lookout for information to come your way. :)
  4. Please continue to check Google Classroom stream and classwork for updates.  When our learning is in the classroom, information for the week is listed under Weekly Studies under Classwork.
Supplies Needed:  None at this time. Thank you for your help!
