Bio coming soon! | RacheI Ehlers - I was born and raised in Eastern Colorado, where I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a teacher. That dream came true after graduating from the University of Northern Colorado in 2000 with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Psychology. My husband Tom and I have raised our two children in this area and love being a part of the USD 240 family. When not at school, we enjoy spending time at the lake! |
Brittney Menges - I am originally from Colby, Kansas. I graduated in May of 2019 from Kansas Wesleyan University with a bachelors degree in elementary education. In my free time I like to spend time with my family and friends and I also love to travel! I currently live in Salina, KS but I frequently make trips back to Colby to spend time with my parents, younger sister, and our pets. I am so excited to meet all of my students this year and begin my first year of teaching! |
What students will learn in 1st grade |

In ELA our students will be introduced to different genres in both fiction and non-fiction, new high-frequency words, vocabulary words in our reading series, as well as being introduced to different print concepts in our reading series, Journeys.

Strategies for success |

ELA - Reading at home with or to your child daily and asking them comprehension questions are great ways to help your child with their reading.
