All About First Grade

A World of Discovery and Surprise

First Grade is an exciting time as children embark upon new adventures in the world of learning. This is a year of important transitions, as well as one in which acquisition of new skills is accelerated. Parents as well as children may have some apprehensions about what will happen. It is extremely important to keep in mind that we all build on small successes. Each child will progress at his/her own individual rate, acquiring skills as he/she is developmentally ready. Maintaining each child's self-esteem and building a secure foundation for future growth will always remain a priority in our first grade. In this I ask for your help and cooperation- applaud every accomplishment, no matter how small it may seem. This will keep the enthusiasm for learning alive and growing. Please read to and with your child, every day if possible. The more your child is exposed to language, the easier it will be for him/her to incorporate new skills in reading and writing in the classroom. Please stay in touch. If you have any concerns about your child's progress, or wish to discuss anything which you feel may affect your child's ability to learn, call me at school any time. You can also expect to hear from me on a routine basis, with news of successes, as well as concerns.
