Dear Parents,
As you can see, February will be a busy month for our first graders! We look forward to a wonderful month and watching everyone grow as they work toward completing more independent reading and writing activities. We will work with numbers and number patterns as we explore place value and skip-counting. We will learn about the contributions that African Americans have made to our country. We will enjoy special activities including Grandparents' Day, Valentine's Day, and Hoops for Heart. Indeed, it will be a fun-filled month for first grade!
