Welcome back and welcome to first grade! I am excited and looking forward to a good year! Already I can tell how wonderful your children are and what a great time we are going to have this school year!
Remember to check folders daily for important information as well as your child's homework (yep we started that this week too). Check out the blog and the newsletter which are updated every week with everything you need to know to help your child be successful in first grade!
Hopefully the blog is easy to navigate! I have listed some great websites for educational games as well as some community links that will be important to our class throughout the year. We try to be involved in the community and so may take a trip to the Fellowship Square Retirement Community to put on a little presentation and hand out cards or try some fundraising and donation drives for either Heifer International or World Care. Please feel free to check out those websites and see what they are all about!
I found this great article on www.greatschools.org. (If you are not subscribed to their mailer I would recommend checking them out as well. They have great information about parenting and how to be involved in your child's education.) Check out this link to see what's going on inside your first grader's mind developmentally:

As always, let me know if you have any questions!
