About me
My name is Abbi Peers. My husband, Steven, and I have two amazing daughters, Quincy and Ramsey. I went to the University of Montana for degrees in Education and Arts Education, along with completing a masters in Arts Integration. I have been at Target Range for 9 years in multiple classrooms and grade levels, and this is my 5th year in 1st grade. First Grade is my absolute favorite grade to teach. I LOVE art, playing games, watching movies, and hanging out with my family and friends. I look forward to this year in learning and growing with your kiddos!
What you can expect in first grade this year
In first grade we learn SO many fun things. You can expect to learn about Sound, Light, Space, Animals and their adaptations, Plants, Addition and Subtraction, Time to the half hour, attributes of a 2-D and 3-D shape, collecting and analyzing data, measurement of an object, visual arts, dance, theater skills, reading and decoding, comprehension, word attack skills, sight words, and so much more... We love to venture out of the school building and make learning meaningful when possible. We love to end our year with a field trip to Bonner Park.
Daily schedule
In our classroom you can expect kids to be engaged in their learning, expressing themselves creatively, and making and taking learning risks to become their best learning selves. You will see small group work, whole group discussion, teamwork, play based learning, student led discovery, and kids taking on challenges and using a growth mindset.

How we can work together
I look forward to teaming together on this learning journey with you and your learner! We are a team and it is important to me that all players are involved in making this the most successful school year for your child. I use an app called Remind. Please download the app and join our class. I use this app to send out important reminders, updates, and to reach me easily through it as well with questions, comments, and to touch base with day to day things. I also use a communication folder at the end of the week. This folder will include reminders, information from the school, and work from the week. Homework is always optional. It can be done at your leisure and should not be returned to school. It is to be used as additional practice as you see fits best in your families routine and schedule.
