Weekly Update for the New Year

We are back on track for the New Year, despite the crazy, icy start to our schedule! Here are new links, info, and updates.


Info to Know
  • We can now take AR tests at home! Click here to go to the website to test at home. Remind our little darlings to do their best and take testing seriously. If you need a user name and password reminder, shoot me an email.

  • Please be sure to review the Unit 4 math tests that are in your little ones clear folder with them. Sign and return the test on Monday.

  • Thank you to all that returned the intention form for the Rising First Grade chats! These will happen on Thursday, January 27 @ 4pm for the telephone conference and @ 4:30 for the on-campus conference.

  • Our class will be partnering with Mrs. McConnell's class to start a book swapping club. Look for a flyer early next week!

  • Please go to the writeboard via the webpage to sign up Mystery Readers! The girls really love to have the clues and a person come to read to them and so far we only have one person signed up!

Academic Update

  • This week we have finished our math assessment for unit 4. Check out our tests and review concepts which we might have struggled! We worked on creating paragraphs/stories with a topic, supporting details, and a conclusion. Creating the conclusion is the hardest for us! Also we reestablished our daily routine, especially center time where we demonstrated that we can balance doing our best on assignments with time management. We also discussed various weather words, rainbows, and MLK.

  • Next week: review of place value (from this week), greater than, less than or equal to, explorations, weight, precipitation, the water cycle, creating cohesive stories and paragraphs, proofreading our writing, STAR testing

On a personal note, I shared a secret with the girls this week....please ask them to share it with you!
