R.E.D. 
Read Every Day

The Reading Log folder sent home is for nightly reading during the week.  Students are expected to read 10-15 minutes each night. Please return the folder, with the book, every Friday. There is no homework on weekends.

Special Reader

On Monday, we will begin our weekly word wall words. I will enclose a letter as an agenda item regarding the reading program. There is also a writing activity for homework. It is due every Friday.

Please return the Reading Log folder and Special Reader every Friday.

Thank you for your support!

Welcome to First Grade with Ms. Van Tassel!


Our first two weeks have been busy with getting to know each other, establishing classroom routines and enjoying the last weeks of summer weather.

Please ensure that you sign the agenda each night. If you have any questions, please call the school and leave a message with the office. I will return your call by the next day.

Looking forward to meeting you at Program Night on Thursday, September 19th. The evening will commence at 6:30 p.m. in the gym followed by classroom visits.

See you then :)

Ms. Van Tassel
