Hello Parents/Guardians and welcome to First Grade. I am so excited and know that we are going to have a wonderful year. I graduated from the prestigious North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. I have been teaching since 2011 and I have been teaching at Southern since 2013 and I look forward to teaching and learning from your child. I am confident that we will have a wonderful and productive year. We will be reading books and poems, writing everyday, asking and answering questions, and learning new skills and sounds to help you learn to read and improve your reading. We will also be using place value to add and subtract, number bonds, counting and comparing numbers, measuring and using data to analyze graphs and so much more! Be sure to have a great attitude and be ready to take school seriously in order to learn and focus each and every day. This is going to be an awesome and productive year!
