Peek at the Week
First Grade News from Mrs. Pendry
A Good Start!
We had a very good first few days in first grade! Students are learning the expectations for behavior in the classroom, playground, lunchroom, and specials. Quail Run focuses on three main ideas: be positive, be productive, and be safe. Your child is learning these things through classroom discussions and practice. We are also making a little book which will help us remember what we've learned.
What are we learning?
In addition to learning basic procedures and expectations, we're practicing a most important skill - listening and following directions! You will feel that many of the early first grade work is quite simple. Some of this is because our math program begins with basic work and review of kindergarten and some of this is because the focus is really on practicing the skills of listening and following directions. Don't worry, academic content will pick up quickly!
Parent Night 5:30-5:55 OR 6-6:25
We will meet on Monday in my classroom. There will be two sessions: 5:30-5:55 and 6-6:25. You may choose the one that best fits your schedule. I will introduce myself and share information about first grade curriculum, schedules, expectations, and special events.
