All About First Grade

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to first grade. My name is Miss Cline and I will be teaching your child this year. I am sure you are as excited as I am to begin the new year. I can not wait to meet my new class.
This is a very special year in your child's school career! First grade is a time to experience important transitions and acquire new skills. During the year, your child will learn how to read, write stories, add, subtract, and so much more. I hope to instill a love of learning that will last throughout your child's years of schooling!
Please take some time to review the Georgia Standards that your child will be learning this year. These standards are very important. As you review the standards, you will see that the standards are much different than the standards that you remember learning when you were in first grade. With that being said, it is SO important that you take the time to practice nightly with your child. Take the time to read stories, study sight words, practice spelling and math skills.
I know that this will be an exciting and productive year. I am interested in learning more about my students and would appreciate any information written down that can help me get to know them better. I look forward to sharing this year with you and your child.

Sincerely,
Miss Cline
