About Me

My name is Christie Bethel and I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have been teaching at Banks Road Elementary since it opened up in 2009. My current teaching experience includes teaching first grade at Willow Springs Elementary and 2nd grade at Lillington Shawtown Elementary. I am a Fuquay native, but now call Apex home. I love animals, especially my cat Bootsie and my parent's yellow lab Lucy. I completed my first half-marathon in April 2011. So when I'm not at school, you will find me at the gym or on a trail running or playing soccer with my friends. I was honored to be selected as Banks Road Elementary's Teacher of the Year for 2013-2014.

Math
Complete attached Math Expressions pages:
1-7 (Homework- front and Targeted Practice- back)
1-8 (Homework- front and Remembering- back)

Writing
Writing workshop is a very important part of first grade.  We often ask our students to write about things that relate to them.  I would like for you to sit down with your child and make a collage.  The collage can consist of pictures that you have taken of family, friends, trips, sports/activities your child participates in, pets, etc…  It can also be pictures cut out of magazines that your child likes if pictures are not available to you.  When you glue the pictures on the cardstock for the collage, please use only one side and make sure the pictures fit on the cardstock.  We will use the other side for something else.  The students will be allowed to use this collage during writing workshop time to help with the writing/story telling process and refer back to it during the school year.

Reading
Read for at least 10 minutes each night.  Write the title on this sheet.
