The Holiday Season is Upon Us!

It's hard to believe we are already in mid-November! It is a very busy time of year for us with many breaks that sometimes cause us to forget our academics. Now, more than ever, it is so important to work with your students at home in Math and Reading.

Expectations for First Graders at this point include:

1. Reading Fry Words List 100, 200, and 300

The CPALMS website is also a great resource for following along with what First Graders in Florida are supposed to achieve.

No doubt, First Graders have a lot of information to cover! There success depends greatly on a partnership between home and school.

As we enter these days of frequent breaks please continue to support learning at home through study times with your student.

After the first of the year (2015) we will schedule conferences to discuss academic performance. Please make every attempt to attend these conferences.

Have a great weekend!
