Dear Family,

This is an exciting year for your first grader! Many
children become readers during first grade. They begin to
master useful math skills that will serve them well for life.
They are ready for more formal instruction in topics such as
science and social studies. They also learn to socialize with a
larger pool of children and adults.

Youve been your childs primary teacher since the
beginning. Now, your childs teacher will play a big role
in your childs day. Dont be surprised if your first grader
loves his or her teacher! This is the ideal time to build a
partnership with the teacher to ensure a love of learning. You
have already begun to develop many important skills as your
childs first and most important teacher!

This parent guide will give you even more parent-tested
ideas. From tips for organizing school materials to strategies
for incorporating learning opportunities into your busy day
you are sure to find some ideas that are just right for you.

One last thought...

Keep in mind that you are setting the stage for habits

that will help your child for the rest of his or her life.

This will be a busy and important year, but dont

forget to have fun along the way!

Forming

Routines at Home

Lets face it, days are pretty busy. Theres nothing worse

than trying to find that permission slip or homework minutes

before the bus or carpool arrives.

We want our children to be self-sufficient. First grade is a

good time for your child to take on more responsibility.

Try these ideas to

prevent frantic mornings.

In- and Out-Boxes

When your child gets home from

school, have him or her put all

school papers into the in-box. Once

everything is finished or signed, the

papers that go back to school can be

placed into the out-box.

Pack It Up

Collect the papers from the

out-box and have your child put

them in his or her backpack the

night before.

Chores

Have your child perform a

regular chore, such as making

the bed or emptying the trash.

Schedule

and any caregivers to see.

One last thought...

Use a timer to help your child keep to

the schedule.

Homework

Habits

Most young children love school. Make the most of this love of

learning by forming good work habits and creating a practical

work environment. One way to do this is to establish a routine

of working quietly for 15 minutes a day.

No TV

Work 15

minutes

Prepare

a work

station

These tips will help

your

first grader form good work habits.

Workstation

Prepare a workstation with paper, pencils, crayons, a ruler,

scissors, and a childrens dictionary, if possible.

Keep It Quiet

Turn off the television and try to keep the room quiet when

your child is working.

A Helping Hand

Be ready to offer help when its needed. Dont help your child

too much, but dont let your him or her get frustrated.

Finish the 15

If your child finishes early, have him or her read picture

books until the 15 minutes are up.

Stick to the Routine

Even if your child doesnt have homework, it is

important that he or she still works quietly for

15 minutes to help set the routine.

One last thought...

Spend five minutes a day practicing skills with flash

cards. Flash cards with addition and subtraction or

flash cards with sight words such as when, then, the ,

and there can be made or purchased.

Starting

Family Conversations

Do you remember how exciting it was when your child said mama

or dada for the first time? Now, you may long for a bit of peace and

quiet! However, talking with your first grader is one of the best things

you can do to build your childs vocabulary skills.

Here are some questions

that will get your child talking.

What new

thing did you

learn at school

today?
