Dear Parents,
Welcome to an exciting year in first grade! Thank you for all your hard work and getting your child off to a great start! My job would not be successful without you.
Please practice counting by fives and tens to 100, and by twos to 40. Also encourage your child to practice and use correct letter formation. They only need to use a capital letter in its proper place. As you read with your child please stop after each page and ask your child to tell you what happened on that page. Once you finish the book ask your child to tell you what happened in the story from beginning to end.
If you have any questions, concerns or you need anything, please call me at , extension 118. You may also me at
Happy Birthday to. . .
