Mrs. Blaylock Gr. 1

Welcome to
Mrs. Blaylock's First Grade!

First grade is a very exciting and important year in your child's life. Together we can make it a happy and productive one as well!

School Theme
Our school theme this year is "Hand in Hand for Forty Years". As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Notre Dame (supported by both St. Francis and St. Mary Parishes), we will work, learn, play, and grow together as part of God's family.

Homework

Homework in first grade consists of reviewing and practicing what is learned in school. IRB (independent reading books) reading, practicing spelling words and sight words, and math facts are homework for first graders on a daily basis. When IRB books come home (starting in mid-September), please listen to your child read the book, sign the parent comment sheet, and return both the book and comment sheet in the ziploc bag. Sight words that come home should be cut apart and practiced with your child. When math facts come home, they, too, should be cut apart and practiced daily for memorization and understanding. Spelling words will come home beginning in mid-October.
