Parents-

This section is for you and will hopefully answer any questions you might have in regards to your child this year.  As you know our district adopted new report cards in Aug. 07, due to that the district grading scale has been changed as well.  It is as follows:  92-100 – A

 

 

 

 

Your child will learn more responsibility in my class particularly from using their TEAMS Binder.  You can find more info on BEE binders at the navigation link to the left.

Some important information regarding core subjects:

Spelling

Math

Reading

Writing

Doesn't start until 

January in first grade.

Our district has adopted a new math program 08-09.  It’s called McGraw – Hill.  We will be using workbook pages instead of the nightly Saxon pages.

I faithfully have reading groups 4-5 days a week.  Expect for your child to bring a nightly reading book at their reading level each night in the BEE Binder.

Writing is a BIG part of 1st grade.  There are many writing standards for your child to meet.  Our district has adopted a writing program called step up to writing.  We have Writer’s Workshop in our class and a chance for your child to read what they published in our Author’s Chair.

Top Signs of Trouble in First Grade

bts_trouble_ts.gifThe major problem for first-graders is a failure to catch on to the basic skills needed for reading. If your child is having problems with reading, seek help immediately. Reading problems don't just go away.

Your child will have trouble if she isn't able to:

  • Listen and follow directions.
  • Concentrate long enough to complete a task.
  • Work independently.
  • Recognize letters of the alphabet.
  • Read on grade level.
  • Verbally express her opinions, feelings, and needs.

    • First Grade: What Will They Learn?

    In first grade, your child will have to interact with his classroom teacher as well as art, music, and physical education teachers. The school day will become longer. He'll eat at school and go to and from school with limited assistance. He'll also have some homework assignments. Find out what else your child will learn this year.

  • Read at least 100 sight words.

  • Locate the main idea and details in stories.

  • Recall the sequence of events in oral and written stories.

  • Print words legibly.

  • Write words legibly in manuscript form.

  • Capitalize the first word in a sentence and use the period and question mark at the end of a sentence.

  • Recognize the singular and plural forms of nouns.

  • Count to 100 by one's, two's, five's, and ten's.

  • Write the numerals to 100.

  • Add and subtract numbers up to and from 10.

  • Use simple maps and globes.

  • Make more detailed observations of the natural world.
