Welcome to our First Grade Family! 

I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing summer. This is going to be an amazing year!  My name is Melissa Danford and I am beginning my 28th year of teaching.  I have been at The Villages Charter School for 8 years and I feel very blessed to be here.  I am married and we have one son. 

I look forward to meeting everyone on Tuesday, August 7th at Orientation.  You are welcome to come anytime between 11 a.m. -1 p.m. or 4 p.m. - 6 p.m.  We are in Room 482 in the Primary Center.  You may also bring your classroom supplies at this time.  This is also a good time to purchase a school agenda for $6.00.  I hope to see you then. 

First grade is an exciting time as chidren embark upon new adventures in the world of learning.  I am looking forward to a successful year!  I believe that you and I are a team working together to help your child develop emotionally and academically.  You are the most important person in your child’s life and you are also a teacher in your child’s life.  I know if we work together and communicate, your child will have a very successful year! 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have during the year (melissa.danford@tvcs.org).  

Love,

Mrs. Melissa Danford

Accelerated Reader Program (AR)

The Accelerated Reader (AR) program is a computer program that provides teachers and children with a fun and exciting way to boost reading skills. This program also serves as an assessment tool that allows me to monitor both the quantity and quality of reading practice that your child is engaged in.In my classroom we use Accelerated Reader in order to help students improve reading comprehension as well as to help them develop a love for reading. Accelerated Reader is an independent reading program based on the principle that practice improves reading.  to view your child's progress in the AR (Accelerated Reader) program you can visit the website listed below. It is easy to get signed up and use this great service. You will receive emails to your personal email address when you child has tested. It is a valuable tool to use keeping in touch with your child's progress. Please take advantage of this resource offered to you. We are already racking up AR points so that we can earn as many AR points as possible.  The first grade goal is 25 points by May.  All first graders earning 25 points will get to attend the annual pancake breakfast.  I have also encouraged students to aim higher towards the 100 point club.  Students who earn 100 points will get to attend the annual pizza party.
