We're Back!

Well, January has been kind of lumpy bumpy with the shortened weeks and days off! Now we are rolling again and everyone is continuing with forward progress. We have had a LOT of sickness in the classroom, so please monitor your child. If he/she has had fever (un-medicated) or vomiting within 24 hours, PLEASE keep him/her at home. We talk a lot about sharing, but sickness is one thing we do NOT want to share!

Report cards will come home on February 1st. If, at that time, you would like to schedule a conference to discuss your child's progress, please contact me at mullerl1@duvalschools.org to schedule. I am happy to meet with you before school or after school. First grade is becoming much more difficult and demanding, so please continue to have your child do his/her homework and turn it in. Also, be sure to go over tests when they come home to see what your child may be struggling with.

We are blending words, working on new vocabulary, learning different strategies for adding to 18, and writing functional (or how-to) papers. We are BUSY!! It is extremely important that you have your child to school on time every day. It is very difficult to make up a lesson that they either missed entirely or came in late on.

As always, it is my pleasure and privilege to teach your child. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.

**Secret word: addend - ask your child what this is!!
