Dear First Grade Parents,
Welcome to one of the most fantastic years your child will have in
his/her school career! First grade is an exciting time as children embark
upon new adventures in the world of learning. This is a year of
important transitions, as well as one in which acquisition of new skills is
accelerated. You will be amazed at how much your child will grow this
year!
During first grade, your child will build his/her reading, writing,
and math skills. We hope to make your child’s first grade year a fun and
exciting one along with academic structure. We also hope to instill a love
of learning that will last throughout your child’s years of schooling.
So much happens in first grade! It is extremely important to keep in
mind that we all build on small successes. Each child will progress at
his/her own rate. Maintaining each child’s self-esteem and building a
strong academic foundation will always remain a priority in first grade.
Thank you for sharing your child with us this year!
Sincerely,
The First Grade Teachers
