Welcome to Mrs. Harris' First Grade Class!

I am so excited about what this year has in store! I am a hands on teacher who loves to create a positive and engaging learning environment for all our students to learn and succeed! I hope you all will partner with me this year to make the best out of your child’s learning experience. Please feel free to contact me anytime with any concerns via seesaw app, email, or by calling the school. I appreciate all your future support for your child. Although this year looks different, it will still be engaging, we will work together, and you will see your child grow!

Accelerated Reader
AR is a computer program that helps teachers manage and monitor children's independent reading practice. Your child will read a book at his/her own level. When finished, your child takes a short comprehension quiz on the computer. I use these results to help your child set goals and direct ongoing reading practice. As your child passes his/her quizzes they will pick out a bead from the bead box. They then get to put their bead on their AR necklace and wear it for that day. AR will not be implemented right away. I will wait a month or two to make sure all students can be successful.

Word Lists, Spelling, and Math Fluency.

First grade word lists will be sent home in 2nd packet, and will be tested on until the 4th week of school. Firsties are to practice their lists during the week and will be tested on Mondays.

While on distance learning we will not be doing spelling tests, but please feel free to have your firstie practice their spelling words as you have time at home.

Math Fluency will be practiced daily as part of their zern math. Our goal is to be fluent in math facts 1-10 by 2nd grade.
