Our mission this year is STUDENT SUCCESS!

Ms. Frechette’s Class 2021-2022

Hi! Welcome to our class! I want to thank you for trusting me and BEE with your first graders! We

are all working together as a BEE family to ensure that our school is a safe learning environment for everyone. This year has already kicked off to such

a great start! My first graders are mastering letter sounds, blends and sight words. We are

working on new math concepts and everyone is having a blast. I enjoy every minute teaching my

students and already watching them grow!

Superhero Schedule

Here is our schedule Monday- Friday.

We use the Ready GEN curriculum for first grade

ELA. This time also consists of writing, language, phonics, and

independent reading.

In math, we use the Eureka curriculum. We will cover

number bonds, addition and subtraction, word problems, shapes, time, and many more

topics!

Homework

Newsletters: Our newsletter can best be implemented as a study guide. It tells you our main focuses in each subject for the week, as well as what will be tested. The ELA vocabulary words and decodable words are all listed on the newsletter.

Sight words: A list of 25 sight words is sent home for the students to study and practice reading. Once your child has mastered the list, sign it so I know they are ready to test. If the student passes the list, they move to the next 25!

Reading: Weekly reading stories with aligned comprehension questions are sent home on Mondays. The students have the entire week to complete the passages.

Math: Weekly math pages are sent home on Mondays. The students have the entire week to complete the math homework.

Social Living: I do not send social living homework home, but we do complete multiple activities in class throughout the week that can be reviewed.

Wednesday Folders

Graded papers are sent home. Please sign and return all graded

papers to be kept on file at school.
