First Grade Update

Thank you for a great set of parent teacher conferences. I am so thankful to have your wonderful children in class with me! Here are just a few highlights of what’s been happening in first grade.

•  We have covered quite a bit in reading the past couple weeks. By now your child should know the “sh”, “ch”, “ph” and “wh” sounds. They should also be able to identify all short vowel sounds as well as long “I” and long “a”. They are making great progress but will go even further if you continue to read with them each day, please.
• In math we are completing our addition unit this week and moving into subtraction. Please check out www.pearsonsuccessnet.com with your child’s user-name and password given to you at our conference. That will give you an idea of what we’re covering and allow your first grader to review at home.  
• Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thank you for all you do!
