We will be using the Six Trait writing program in conjunction with the Four Square Writing Method in class to help your child develop their writing skills.

A variety of writing methods will be demonstrated in class.  Therefore, through the use of modeled writing instruction, collaborative writing, and independent writing your child will see and be involved in various types of writing practice.

To learn more about your first grade child, the Family Education website is filled with useful articles, suggestions, expectations, and more.  Click on the link above to go to this site.

Click on the web links links below related to writing.  Some have great topic ideas to write about.  Enjoy!
