Welcome to Mrs. Walker's class!

I am very excited to be working with your child this year. First grade is "the reading year", and I take my job very seriously! If you need to reach me, please call at 528-6498 (voicemail extension 22841) or e-mail me at kwalker@amherst.k12.va.us. (If it something that I will need to know before 4:00, please either send a note or contact the office.) I will be updating this site regularly, so please refer to it often!

Classroom Information

Parent-Teacher Communication: A newsletter is sent home weekly on Mondays. The newsletter is also uploaded onto this website each week. Students also bring home their agendas and folders each night. Please take time to go through both and to sign the agenda each day. The weekly newsletter will tell you what Standards of Learning we mastering and all homework/ special projects. Please take the time to read it each week!

Homework: Students will be given spelling and reading homework each evening. Spelling homework will begin to be given at the end of August, and reading logs will begin in the middle of September.

Other Skills: I have included a copy of the first grade Standards of Learning, which is the basis of our curriculum.
