Greetings, First Graders and Families!

The  Classroom

You are looking at our classroom library.  There is a school library, which is much bigger, that we will visit each week.  Our class library is a place where you will be able to read quietly or look for some information during the regular school day.  

The Classroom Library is only one center in our class.  You will find our Meeting Area, Writing Center, Handwriting Practice, Computer and Snack Center.  We also have several materials centers: Construction, Math & Numbers, Letters & Words.  We will learn how to use materials and work in each center early in September.

The School Day

During the day, you will work in many different groups.  Sometimes the whole class will work together, like in Morning Meeting.  Sometimes you will work with 2 or 3 students and sometimes you will work by yourself.  You will work in different places, also.  Sometimes you will be at your desk, sometimes in one of the centers and sometimes at the instruction table.  Each day we will have one special class- art, computer, music, library or physical education.  In the classroom, we will have reading lab, writing workshop and math class every day.  We will also have either science or social studies each day.  I hope that you like to move around, work with different people and learn about lots of things in our world!

Your Teacher

I am Mrs. M. Smith and I am coming back to teaching after nine years as a principal.  I am doing this because I love working with students and the learning process.  I am very excited and anxious to meet each of you!
