Many students are nervous about entering the first

grade. I recommend reading the book, The Night
Before First Grade (Natahsa Wing), the night before
your child comes to school. This is to help ease their
minds before their big day of first grade!

Learning Science is Fun!

I have a fun-filled science
lesson planned on sounds. By
the time we finish with the
lesson your child will have an
understanding of what causes
sound, pitch, and volume. I am
excited about the science
experiments I have planned for
your child to do!
