    Welcome to First Grade! First grade is an exciting year on your child's educational journey. I am so happy to have the privilege of assisting your child in developing his or her reading and writing skills in first grade. We will read a lot each day, as reading is so important! We will visit the library once a week. Please make sure you teach your child the responsibility of a library book. I hope that your child learns to love reading and to appreciate how much fun reading can be! First Grade also studies about animals, their life cycles, and what living things need to survive. We begin studying the basic addition and subtraction facts. We also solve story problems. We work with time and the clock. We begin to measure and work with fractions! This is very exciting curriculum for our students. First Grade is such a special year for children. I am happy to be a part of your child's learning. I look forward to seeing him or her grow and succeed this year!

    FOLLOW YOUR STUDENT'S READING PROGRESS

    ARLOGO_bgWHITE.gifYour student uses a software program calledAccelerated Reader (AR) at school. Accelerated Reader allows your student to read books at their level and then take a quiz to show they understand what they have read. As a award for their efforts, your student earns points. The system also tracks the total number of words they have read.

    This program has a special featured called Renaissance Home Connect, which your student and you can access outside of school from any computer with an internet connection. Renaissance Home Connect is fun and easy to use. It allows the teacher, your student and you to share information about their progress in Accelerated Reader.

    You can view Renaissance Home Connect from any computer with internet connection. To log you will need your student's user name and password, which they should know. If not, connect their teacher for this information.
