Welcome to Mrs. Sluder's 1st grade class! 

Congratulations to all my 1st graders, who will be 2nd graders after June 5th! Even with the challenges posed by distance learning, this was an exciting year. Thank you to all the families and students who pulled together to make distance learning work

My guiding principles for this and every year still hold true: Attitude - We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them. Goal: The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving. Failure leads to success...we learn from our failures and grow from them. The power of "yet"... Your son or daughter may not have a concept...yet....but with hard work and effort, he/she will get there. Perseverance: Go over, go under, go around, or go through - but never give up.

I hope you all take advantage of the K-5 Summer for All, which will keep you moving forward as you look to being a 2nd grader 2020/2021. 

Thank you for bringing joy to each and every day. 

I miss you all, 
Mrs. Sluder
