First Grade Parents,
We are having a great time in the classroom. The children are adjusting to the routine easily and need less and less reminders in the morning.
We have Mrs. Nyarko, a parent of two SFA students, is working with us on Monday, Tuesday and Friday mornings. We welcome her with open arms to our classroom. Mrs. Nyarko is studying Elementary Education at Morgan University.
Thanks you in advance for reviewing their homework with them each evening. Please reinforce at home that school/homework takes top spot over sports, dance and other extracurricular activities.
Our Reading and Math series will be moving at a quicker pace than in Kindergarten. The word lists and math facts really do need to be practiced often. Some students are struggling with words they learned in Kindergarten. Practicing to sound out these words easily will be of great help as we read stories.
Our Math program uses many manipulatives, which we enjoy.
We have begun our Religion work. We have talked about Creation and what good things God has given to us.
Just a few reminders:
PLEASE,PLEASE have your child use the bathroom right before leaving the house. I have several children asking to use the bathroom before 8:30am. If your child has a medical condition, please let me know.
Socks - for both regular uniforms and gym MUST come up over the entire ankle. Sports and no-show sock are not uniform. Thank you for making this change.
Lastly, I will be sending out a sign up for conferences. IF you would like a conference, please sign up.
I try to send out newsletters every couple weeks. Please check the website also, for updated newsletters, homework and pictures.
Thanks!!!
Sharon Foley
