Spring Break Photos
We hope that you had a most enjoyable and fun Spring Break! As you know spring break often allows us time to take many photos. In Reading this week we will be needing a photo of your child for a project that we will be doing. Please send your child with one photo of themselves to school on Tuesday. If you are unable to have one printed, please email it to your child's teacher. Thank you!
Sincerely,
The First Grade team
Learning Targets
We would like to celebrate the academic success your child has had thus far. They have worked extremely hard in all subject areas. As we approach our last two six weeks of school we would like you to know that the rigor of our work is getting critical. Many of your children will be challenged across all content areas. With that being said, you may see a change in your child's grade(s). This is not a bad thing considering what they are being asked to do. Your child may have to grapple with new concepts, and that's okay! As long as they are putting forth 100% of their effort, they will grasp it. It may just take a little longer than usual! If we have a concern with your child's progress we will definitely contact you to set up a conference. Our goal is to prepare all our first graders, to the best of our abilities, for second grade!
Please continue to encourage your child to always do their best and to be accountable for their learning. We appreciate all your support!
