Welcome to 1st Grade!

We are very excited to welcome our new students into our first grade class!  We enjoyed getting to know each other and know we will have an amazing year! 

In preparation for the upcoming school year, please subscribe to our blog by clicking on “Subscribe to our Blog” (found on the right sidebar).   In addition, under the “Parent Information” heading you will find our Class Disclosure and our 2016-2017 Supply list.   

As a quick introduction to our class, Mrs. Nelson teaches in the morning and primarily focuses on Language Arts and Mrs. Hill concentrates on Math in the afternoon, but these core concepts are emphasized throughout the day because proficiency in number sense and becoming a good reader is at the heart of these early years.  We work closely together to ensure success and continuity in your child’s learning and in the classroom environment.

Please continue to read to your child and have them read to you during the summer!  The more he/she reads, the better prepared they will be for the upcoming school year :) 

We look forward to meeting with you at Back to School Night in the fall!  Have a wonderful summer break!
