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

I expect this to be an exciting year, and promise to work hard to ensure each and every child has a rewarding experience. A few of my guiding principles for this year: 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.
