1st Grade Year-end

Wow this school year sure did fly by!  Can you believe your child’s first grade year has already come to an end?  It is true what they say…Time flies when you’re having fun!!!!

We want you to know that we have thoroughly enjoyed working with your children throughout this year.  They have learned so much and have also had so much FUN!!!!!  We will truly miss seeing their shining faces each day!

As we look towards summer break, we want to remind you how important it is to stay on top of your child’s academic skills by reading each and every night.  It would also benefit your child if you purchase a few skill review workbooks for your child to complete throughout the summer.  Just one to two pages a day will keep your child’s new found academic skills fresh for next school year.  You can find these grade-level appropriate workbooks at Walmart, Target, or bookstores and dollar stores around the area.

We also want to thank you for all your help and support throughout the year.  We wish you and your child all the best in the years to come!

                  Love,
                      Mrs. Baldock & Mrs. Wagonfield

The student must assume responsibility for his/her own learning, completing assignments in a timely manner.

Homework will be assigned regularly in the academic areas Consideration will be given to the student's ability, achievement level, grade level, experience and the nature of the class. Homework assignments will be considered in determining student grades.
