Welcome to the Wonderful World of First Grade
What's New
We have completed another successful week of school! Please remind students to mute their mics and turn on their cameras for the entire day.
Next week we will continue our regular daily schedule. Please allow your child to practice getting in and out of Google Classroom independently. Also, make sure they are reading their sight words daily.
We will be giving an On Demand (District) Writing Assessment on Thursday. Students will right about a self selected topic for 45 minutes. It is very important that your child writes independently during this time. They will ask for help on spelling but we encourage you to tell them to do the best they can. The purpose is to see where their writing abilities are so that we can design instruction to meet their needs. You will receive more information soon.
Continue to make sure that your child is completing all assignments in Google Classroom. Assignments are continuing to normalize. You can expect a daily assignment for sight words, reading/writing, and math. Sometimes we will begin them as a class but many times they will be introduced in class and completed during asynchronous learning time.
