Cahill, Christina - 1st / Overview

Hello families and students! My name is Ms. Cahill. To tell you a little about myself, I graduated from Radford University with a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education. This is my sixth year at Carver and I have loved every minute! I have a sweet dog named Abby who is spoiled rotten. I love coffee, shopping, and watching sports. I look forward to meeting you and your child and forming a relationship with both of you. :)

-With extended school closures in effect, a packet was sent home with your child on Friday, March 13th. Please make sure your child is working on this packet each and every day. In addition, a reading textbook was sent home which has stories we have previously read. This is great review for your child to ensure that no reading skills are lost. A math textbook was also sent home so your child can work on skills or concepts that your child might be struggling with, or skills that are more difficult for your child.

-I will keep you informed on additional work we plan to send home and how you can get the work for your child.

-I have recently created a class Dojo page. This page lets me keep parents and children updated on things happening in our classroom. Please check your email and accept the invitation so you can be a part of our family!

Each week, a Homework Sheet is sent home on Mondays and is to be returned on Fridays. There are five activities on the sheet, one for each night. Please make sure you initial each night that your child is completing the activities. There are also weekly reminders on there for you as well!
Please make sure you review the spelling words with your child each week. We have our spelling tests on Fridays. They will be sent home on the homework sheet.
Dolch Sight Word Booklet- There will be a Sight Word Booklet sent home. These are to be practiced over the week and I will test the kids on Friday morning. Start at the Pre-Primer List. If your child does not know the word of get the word wrong, I will circle it so you know to keep working with them on these words. Try to work with your child on learning 5 words at a time. There is no rush to complete them all. This is deisgned to take all year. :) You only have to send this back on Fridays!
