We focus on teaching students to follow directions ( say okay and it right away), raise hand for teacher 's attention and listening skills (look at teacher, voice off, hands to yourself).We teacher students to SOAR - be safe, on task, accountable and respectful.We are really excited about taking your children on a journey through reading, writing, spelling, math, science, and social studies. By the end of the year your son/daughter will know all his/her letters and sounds, be able to blend words and will even be reading sentences. In addition, you will see them go from just writing their names to writing several sentences using inventive and actual spelling. Students will share their ideas and writing with the rest of the class. Students will start the year recognizing numbers and counting, and by May they will be adding and subtracting. In language arts and math, the students will have the opportunity to work independently, as a whole group and in small groups. You will see your sons and daughters grow so much in so many ways this year - academically and socially. We are looking forward to a great year!'
