I am so excited to join your community and welcome you to 1st grade! The beginning of the year will consist of getting to know each other, learning rules, and procedures, assessments of your child’s skill level in reading, writing, and math, review of skills learned in Kindergarten, guided reading groups, center activities including math, writing, reading, listening, science, and art, and establishing a growth mindset. With a growth mindset, your student will be able to talk about their brains and how they work, accept mistakes as learning opportunities, and understand the role of emotions in learning. Currently, I’m Ms. Jenny Capilla, but this summer I am getting married! Next year you’ll know me as Mrs. Silver. Get excited to see your child GROW!
