Welcome to FIRST GRADE!

Here are some skills to work on during the summer to make the transition to first grade smooth and give you a general idea of expectations for the next school year. At Open House, you will receive a summary of specific skills to be covered over the first nine weeks.

Home Reading

Please continue to read for 15 minutes each night for home reading. Please remember to turn in your calendars at the end of each week. This is a district wide assignment and is notated on each report card.

Communication is the key to our success this school year.PLEASE, return folder daily. Books spend the night only one night. If you don’t have time to read it or you want to reread it than just have your child bring it back to school and communicate to me they want to take it back home that night. Books do not spend the week-end at home. EXCEPTION books from the Information Center ( Media Center). I will send home a schedule of our “Specials” sometime in the near future. Record and initial your child’s Home Reading, nightly. This is a report card grade. You and your child will be rewarded when you see what a GREAT reader they become. Mrs. W
