Recipe for First Grade

I so enjoyed meeting you tonight and can't wait for the year to get started!
EASY RECIPE FOR A PERFECT FIRST GRADE CLASS

1 Bunch of Happy Eager Students
1 Enthusiastic, Energetic and Loving Teacher
Combine the above ingredients with:
2 Cups of Reading
1 Cup of Phonics
1 Cup of Math
1 Cup of Spelling
1 Cup of Science/Social Studies/Health
1 Cup of Honesty
1 Cup of Friendship
1 Cup of Respect
1 Cup Concern and Love for Each Other
Spices (for extra flavor)
A dash of P.E., Library, Music, Art, and Computers
A Large Portion of Learning Stations
An Abundance of Supportive and Concerned Parents



Blend reading, phonics, math, spelling, science, social studies, and health very carefully and thoroughly each day. Add honesty, friendship, respect, and concern for each other. Daily add a bunch of love and enthusiasm along with a scoop of understanding and a dash of discipline. Sift in P.E., Music, Art, Library, and Computers to give it a little spicy flavor. Carefully blend in Learning Stations to enhance all learning styles. Mix thoroughly and check to see if all ingredients are blending and being learned. Bake in a first grade classroom everyday. Watch them grow and learn daily adding more of each ingredients as needed. When they are done and the year is through - turn them out into the world with knowledge, love, respect, and self- esteem!
