STEP UP DAY INFORMATION

FIRST AND SECOND GRADE
STEP UP DAY
MRS. KIMBALL

Hi! Welcome to Grades 1-2! I am excited to be your child’s new teacher! We are going to have a great year together filled with lots of exciting units! Some of them include:  Super Heroes, Friends, Space, Extreme Nature, Matter, Economics and Animal - Plant Dependency. We will also read many different types of genre and do author studies. Some of the authors we will focus on are:  Mo Willems, Kevin Henkes, Tracy West, David Estes, Cynthia Rylant, Kate DiCamillo, Robert Munsch, Dr. Seuss and Iza Trapani.

First and Second Graders are asked to purchase items to add to our communal supplies. Walmart usually has these items on sale extremely cheap towards the end of summer.  Anything you can get from this list would be greatly appreciated and put to good use throughout the school year!

I have attached the first and second grade sight word list incase your child wants to play school this summer. I have attached a list of ways to practice math. Feel free to use my portaportal for fun, educational links. The address is www.portaportal.com. The guest sign in is VCS2. Please make sure your child reads and is read to lots this summer.

I am willing to be pen pals with your son or daughter this summer.  My email address is lkimball@veaziecs.org. Shoot me an email and I will give you my home address.  If your child writes to me, I promise I will write back :)! Also, if you have any questions, I do well with email.

I have a classroom blog that is updated at least once a week. On it you will find a copy of anything I send home, information about curriculum, our specials’ schedule and LOTS of pictures!

LAST DAY
It was a bittersweet day today! Saying good-bye after two wonderful years was very tough! However, watching them grow into the people they are today has been the best! Thank you for sharing your children with me! We couldn't have done what we did these past two years without your support...Parents and Families you have been terrific to work with! I appreciate all of your help. If your child feels like having a pen pal, shoot me an email and I will give you my address :)! Have a great summer and come visit me in the fall!! <3
