Thank you for visiting our NEW wiki! Here you will find links to educational websites for every unit of study your children will cover while in first grade. All of the links can be found through the HOME page. You can quickly navigate back to the home page by selecting the 1st grade picture of the bear and the pencil, as seen at the top of this page. You can also get back to the home page by clicking on my last name at the top of any page. Some things you might want to check out...

We are writers - (Found on the parents page and writing page) Each student has their very own page on this wiki in which they can write, edit and share their writing with you, friends and anyone else they want to. They can write at home and at school. They can go back and edit their work as they continue to improve their writing and spelling skills. It will also be very helpful for them to see how far they have grown in their writing as they progress through the year.

Fry words and Sitten lists - (Found on the parents page, reading and spelling pages.) These are lists that you should have printed at your home. Students need to be able to either read, write, or read and write these words by the end of the school year. See each link for specifics on what they should be able to do with each list.

Home page - From the home page you can navigate through the different subjects and units of study for each subject. These links are all school and home appropriate. Please note that some websites may require plug-ins to be installed or additional programs to run on your home computer. As your child explores new sites at home from the wiki please explore with them. This way you can ensure all the proper computer installations are completed correctly and with your permission.

Class Wish List - (Found on the parents page) The class wish list is a continuing list of needs for our classroom. Some of the needs will never change. Others may change depending on the current unit of study. Many of the items on this list would be considered trash to you, but can be very helpful in our classroom.

Pearson - (Found on the reading page and parents page) The Pearson website and provided link will give you and your child access to over 600 books, science content, and anthology content that will be covered throughout first grade. These are free tools that come with the books and materials provided to them at Ayer. Log in using your students school user id and password.

Check back for new updates often. I will be posting what we are currently learning about and any additional updates regarding our class as needed.
