Welcome to First Grade!!!

Congratulations! You are on your way to first grade. We know you are looking forward to a fun-filled summer, but we hope you will take time to review a few things to be ready for the first grade. Here are some suggestions to get you off to a great start this fall:

          ---recognize all upper/lowercase letters at random

          ---identify beginning sound/ending sounds

         ---write all upper/lowercase letters

         ---know popcorn words

          ---say rhyming words

         ---write name

         ---identify numbers to 20, count to 100, etc.

         ---enjoy a story everyday

          ---do simple addition and subtraction

Every student will need the following supplies:

          ---scissors (preferably Fiskars)

          ---box of 8 jumbo crayons (no bigger boxes)

          ---fat pencils (first nine weeks-may buy these at

              school) #2 skinny pencils thereafter (buy as needed)

          ---glue stick

          ---pencil box

          --- 2 boxes of Kleenex
