Mrs. Parker's First Grade Scholars

In addition to communication, collaboration is also an important aspect of our classroom. Throughout the school day, Mrs. Parker's scholars are constantly collaborating with each other in order to stretch their brains! Collaboration does not just happen inside of the classroom either, it also extends into the home! In Mrs. Parker's class, we believe that collaborating with student's home environment motivates them to be the best scholars that they can be. One way we have done this is through our student interest survey. At the beginning of the year, you should have received a form that asked about your students interests at home! Using this information, we are able to incorporate student interests into our lessons, which helps to increase student engagement! Throughout the year, there will also be assignments and projects that will require your student to bring in items from home and share them with the class. This helps students to connect concepts we are learning in class to the real world, and to their own home!

Most importantly, we hope to communicate and collaborate with the families of our students in order to better understand what each student needs to be successful in first grade! Families, please do not hesitate to reach out to either Mrs. Parker or Miss Poore with any questions or concerns that you may have. We want to collaborate with you in order to ensure that your student has the best year possible!
