Welcome to our class. The past 12 of my nineteen years of teaching
have been spent at New Boston Central School. The community of New Boston
is certainly a special one, and the students of New Boston Central School
are extraordinary!
Our first grade classroom is rich with learning experiences. Reading,
Writing, and Mathematics are at the core of all that we do. Literacy and
Math opportunities are incorporated into our content area studies to provide
a rich and engaging curriculum!
Students in my classroom learn about being writers. You will start to
hear your children talking about how writers develop IDEAS, ORGANIZE their
writing, use strong WORD CHOICES, and write sentences with FLUENCY! Your
children will also learn about how writers need to respect the reader by
using correct writing CONVENTIONS. However, most importantly, you will hear
your children talk about how writers try to write "like nobody else would
think to write it". This is called a writer's VOICE. Your child is
learning about the SIX TRAITS OF WRITING.
Best of all, besides hearing your children talk about these things, you
will begin to see glimmers of these traits appear in their writing!
