Our AR Kickoff was last week, and we are now reading our library books everyday at both school and home. Students should be prepared to take a 5 question test on his/her library book each day. Please read with your child every evening and ask questions about what you read together.

PTO Night

This night is being rescheduled. We will keep you posted.

Book Fair

Will be around September 22. Dates to be determined later.

Week of August 18, 2008

Parents, thank you for helping us get back in gear and in a routine of first grade. We seem to be getting used to first grade and are already becoming a close class.

This week we will be studying numbers up to 20. We will be collecting, comparing, and creating pictures of numbers to 20, as well as learning about the number line.

We are writing every day, and are excited to share some of our stories during PTO.

Reading is also underway, with all testing over. Nonfiction and fiction will be introduced this week.

Please work with your child nightly on homework.
