Mrs. Wilson's  First Grade   

Parent Corner

          Please remember, as I have previously mentioned , I believe that you are your child's first and most important teacher.  Promise to share your thoughts with me as we work together for your child's benefit.

  Many of us spoke at conferences about writing and fine motor skills.  By clicking on the writing practice button, you are able to make practice pages with words specific to your family, such as, names, streets, or cities.  The font is set for D'Nealian manuscript, the style we use in school.

  This site has free printable math activities.  The program generates problems at random, so you can repeat practice using different numbers.  There is even a section for problem solving.  (I apologize in advance for any ads.)

Reminder for problem solving

Students (with help) must:

1.  read to understand what is being asked
2. make a drawing to show the process
3. write the answer in a sentence or phrase
4. finally, write a number sentence

This site has practice help for parents and children.

Author and Illustrator, Jan Brett, has many great family activities on her site.
