  22. Conclusion • In first grade, students gain and improve the foundational skills they need to become great readers and mathematicians. Their language becomes more expressive, and they begin to focus on math problems with real-life applications. Among other things, they learn about spelling conventions, geometry, money, time and sentence structure. It is also a year of social growth. Your support and enthusiasm fosters the life long love of learning. I look forward to partnering with you this year.
