Welcome to First Grade


Greetings 1A Families,

"Meet the Teacher" was such a lovely time. I enjoyed meeting each of your families and I look forward to getting to know everyone in this coming year. 

I am so excited to start the first week of school. I hope your little ones are also excited to join us. Our first week, we will be getting to know each other, learning routines, procedures, and the ins and outs of being a first grader. We will be building a classroom of order and a culture of community and joy. 

We will also be reading Aesop's Fables, practicing and reviewing math concepts, learning and reviewing phonograms, and begin our geography unit. 

All of our classroom supplies and consumables/classic books have been inventoried. If you are still in process of gathering these items for your scholar, we do ask that you try to have materials and books turned in within the first week of school. 

Books we will need immediately:

Aesop's Fables
Singapore Math workbook 1A
Pink Spalding notebook
Mead Primary Writing Tablet

Several parents mentioned waiting on items to arrive in the mail. Thank you for letting me know.

I will be sending out reminder emails next week. 

Many parents are still needing to enroll their children in xtramath.com. Once you have completed enrollment be sure your child takes their placement test. Once they have completed their placement test they may begin their practice assignments.


As we prepare for the first day please review the family handbook, pick-up and drop off procedures, and uniform dress code. These items can be found on our school website. Below is a few quick links to review these items.
