Ms. Nixon's Wonderful First Grade Class







                          


  Dear Parents:

This is a very important school year for your child.  This will be a challenging school year for your child and the first time that your child will take the Iowa  Test of Basic Skill as well as other testing designed to measure your child's academic progress.  Together, we can work toward the academic success of the children.  I also want what is best for the children in my class.  The students are building a foundation not only for this school year but for skills they will use the rest of thier lives.
 

The following is expected of your child:
