Welcome to Mrs. Quist's First Grade Class! We are going to have tons of fun together this year! 

 

This year we will work hard to develop a variety of social-emotional skills that will help your child to interact and learn with his/her peers. We will strive to maintain a positive and cooperative learning environment for all of our students! We will learn how to be good friends and citizens, not only in our classroom but in our school as well!

​

This is going to be a very important year for your child. We will be laying down the foundation for reading and writing and developing the skills your child needs to become a lifelong reader! Your child will be working hard all year long to become a great reader! Your involvement in this journey is key!

 

We are a blended learning classroom, meaning we will use a mixed approach of traditional (paper/pencil) methods, infused with technology education that allow all types of learners to demonstrate and practice their learning in fun and creative ways. Parents are encouraged to connect with our classroom in two important ways:

1. This website - where you will find a lot of important information updated frequently, and a good spot to have many of your questions answered. Visit our blog often to see learning in action! 

2. SeeSaw - this is a digital portfolio app that we use in class to showcase our learning. Weekly, your child will be demonstrating their understanding of various concepts and talking about their learning at school. A log in will be sent home for you to easily access your child's account. The students gets SO EXCITED about this - so please jump on board and join them in celebrating their successes! 

 

It is going to be a great year and I am very excited to work with you and your child! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of their educational journey!
