Hello parents! As I said in the newsletter, we have been very BUSY Ladybugs in our classroom! I have really enjoyed getting to know your children this past week and know for a fact that this year will be AWESOME!
I would like to apologize for my school email lately. There was an issue with WCPSS, but they resolved it and it is now working again. Please feel free to contact me anytime via email at kseymour2@wcpss.net


Ladybug News:
This week we are working hard to -
· Continue to develop strong and trusting relationships with each other
· Review the alphabet (letter names and sounds)
· Review and practice classroom rules and routines as well as organizational skills
· Finish our ALL ABOUT ME book
· Daily 5 – Read to Self
· Review letters, numbers (1-10) and shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, circle, pentagon)


One more reminder - please be READING everynight with your child and reviewing the alphabet with them! Thank you!!!

Welcome to First Grade!

FUN IN FIRST GRADE!

Welcome to first grade! I am VERY excited to work with your children and to learn all about their interests and favorite subjects in school! This is my second year teaching first grade, and my third year teaching! I thoroughly enjoy the daily interactions with children and the adorable things that they say! I look forward to another year of learning from my students, hearing silly jokes, and making learning creative and fun!

I will do my best to update this blog every week with the following information:

  • Weekly HF and Spelling Words
  • Monthly Calendar
  • Classroom and DRES news
  • Homework assignments
  • Educational websites to visit with your children
  • And other exciting, informative ideas :)
Let's make this a fantastic year together!
