First Graders in 101, 103, and 106 will be building towards fluency by adding and subtracting within 10. They will also organize and represent data as well as interpret data to ask and answer questions.

Make sure your child reads for 20 minutes a day.

Students in class 103 should be reading in English and in Spanish!

Check your child's homework folder every day for important notices.

Students should be wearing sneakers for gym. If you're not sure, double check with your teacher(s) which day your child has gym.

Talk with your child about the things they do in school. Have them speak in a complete sentence, "In school, I _________."

Have your child practice writing simple sentences, remembering to capitalize the first word and end the sentence with punctuation.

Count forward and back 1-20.
