Weeping Willow Tree Classroom


1ST GRADE

In first grade, students will learn how to solve addition problems with sums up to 20, do subtraction problems with numbers 0-20, and learn how to tell time to the nearest hour and half-hour using analog and digital clocks.  

Students will look closely at pictures and do "close reads" with books.  They will practice expressing what they notice and wonder and will often have partner or group discussions. Through this practice they will learn how to express their own point of view and build on others ideas.  

We will build important reading and writing skills and at the end of the year students should be able to attempt to write and spell new words phonetically, read and write common words such as where and every, and write complete sentences with correct capitalization and punctuation.

a little about me

Email >

Hi! My name is Ms. Jen and I am one of the First Grade teachers here at GreenWood. I have one of the best jobs in education. I will be starting my 8th year at GreenWood and can’t wait. I have been lucky enough to have worked with just about every grade at the school, but my heart will always be with the littles. Their excitement and passion to learn are unmatched by any other grade I have worked with. So is their energy! I adore my time with them. I have spent the majority of my years here working in the Literacy Department with their intervention team, mostly specializing in First and Second grade skills. 

I have 3 kids who are my blessings outside of the classroom.  My youngest is here at GreenWood too!  I will be a grandma soon also and I am so thrilled for this new adventure. I love all things Star Wars, walking my 2 labs, Finn and Chewie, and being outside. Bike riding, kayaks, paddle boards, snowshoeing, you name it. 


I love meeting my students and their families. I love finding out the things they love to do and I can’t wait to be the teacher they will always remember.
  

Encourage kids to be creative without worrying about being perfect.
