Welcome to Mrs. Inglish's Far Out First Grade Class! First Grade is a year of shift in learning. In Kindergarten, your child was learning to read. In First Grade, they will continue to learn to read, but they will begin to read to learn! I am so excited to be making this new jump with your children, as this will be my first year of first grade as well.
Your child will be learning A LOT this school year! Check out the Common Core State standards. These are the things we will be learning this year. You play a vital role in your child's education. Please make sure you talk to your child every day about what he/she learned in school, and discuss and practice those things at home. Read daily with your child. Talk to your child and share experiences. The best gift you can give to your child is your time. You will be amazed by the end of the year at how much your child has grown!
Classroom
Rules:
1. Follow directions.
2. Keep your hands, feet, and
objects to yourself.
3. Raise hand and wait to be
called upon.
4. Use school materials and equipment properly.
5. Be respectful.
Homework Guidelines
Homework packets will be given every
Monday. Completed homework is to be returned to class on Friday of the same week. Homework is given as a reinforcement of the week’s
lessons. It is a wonderful opportunity for your child to receive some one on
one instruction on the skills they are learning. We ask that you sit with your
child when they are doing their homework. Go over the directions with them and encourage
them to take their time and do their best work.
Homework should be done completely and neatly. Be sure to
check both sides of each homework sheet. Most
of all, it should be your child’s work, not yours!
Reading: A
20-minute reading block is a required part of each night’smework in First Grade. Reading
with your child for 20 minutes a night is the best way to help your child
succeed. We will be sending home a reading log, which should be completed Monday through Thursday. Please make sure to read with
your child every night.
Sight Words: We will be sending home sight words for your child to study and recognize. Your child will bring home a sheet with four lists. Please practice these words with your child. When your child has mastered these words, please sign the list/s he/she has learned and return them to school. Your child will be tested and if he/she passes, he/she will bring home the next list/s.
Important reminders:
Attendance: Please try to avoid unnecessary absences. Each missed day of school leads to loss of opportunity to learn. If your child is absent, please send a note or call the school office to let us know the reason for the absence. Please make sure your child is on time every day. We begin promptly each day at 8:00AM.
