Grade 1 English

Dear Parents,

Welcome to our grade one web page! My name is Tracey Featherstone and I'm your child's English teacher. Here you will find information about English homework, class work and upcoming school events. So far I've been getting to know your kids and doing my best to get them organized. A school supply notice was sent out last June asking for certain items. Make sure your child has a pocket folder. Every day you need to check this folder for homework to complete, corrections to be made and returned and notices from me. The folder is essential as your child has several teachers and subjects.

I look forward to a terrific school year!!

Ms. Tracey Featherstone

HOMEWORK

All homework will be posted on this web page. Please check daily. Thank you!!!
