Dear Parents,
     I am very pleased to have your child in my class this year. I look forward to a year filled with learning and fun. First Grade is a very important and busy year. Teachers, students and parents have many goals to meet before May. Several of these goals are in the areas of spelling, reading and writing.

     Please set aside a special time and place for homework each night. Consistency increases your child's ability to learn. It is helpful to keep the spelling list on the refrigerator for quick review. Parental support and help is crucial to the level of success your child achieves. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
