Welcome to First and Second Grade!
Thank you for stopping by! I'm so excited to be sharing this journey with you and your child. We are ready to have a great year learning and growing together.
It is truly my pleasure and privilege to be your child's teacher. I have included information below that I hope you will find useful and refer to often.
Please contact me at jcoffen@misda.org or at 269-683-5444 if you have any questions!
Alphabet Song
Your child has likely mastered the alphabet, but if not this song makes for a great review! When children are learning to read they need to blend sounds. This song presents each letter sound in a blend-able way with the sound and a word association for each letter, along with correct mouth formation for each letter.
Classroom Handbook
Our classroom handbook contains important information about our curriculum, management plan, daily schedule, and classroom policies.
Daily Schedule
No two days are alike, but here is a look at a typical day in our classroom.
Number Formation Poems
Just for fun, here are some fun rhymes that review number formation!
School Supply List
Please look at this list carefully and kindly note that space in desks is limited so we will not have room for extra supplies. Notice that some school supplies are provided by the teacher. Click on the above link for details.
Writing Paper
Students love to share their ideas through writing! If your child wants to write at home, you'll find a variety of paper options available to best fit the needs of your child. Remember, for beginning writers much of the meaning comes through their pictures. Gradually students will add letters for sounds in words and then move onto writing words and complete sentences. We celebrate the stage each student is at!
Amazon Wish List
I keep a class wish list on Amazon which may be accessed by clicking above. Please don’t ever feel obligated to use this list, but it is there for those who may wish to purchase something for our class to enhance our learning environment. Any and all donated wish list items are greatly appreciated.
