First grade is an exciting and fun place. This year your students will make the biggest strides in reading and writing. They will learn about properties, goldfish and guppies, the rain forest, dinosaurs and fossils, and weather. In math your children will grasp the concepts of addition, subtraction, telling time, counting money and more! It has been my dream to be a teacher, and I am so blessed to be in first grade with your students at M.J. Fletcher Elementary!

Literacy Workstations
The purpose of Literacy Workstations is to keep children engaged and on task while the teacher is pulling students for small group reading instruction. Workstations also reinforce literacy skills (letter/sound knowledge, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and word study.) During workstation time (45 minutes a day) students make choices, work at their own pace, learn to work independently or with a partner, work hands on with literacy materials, and overall feel successful.
