Moving right along...

Our work in room 116 has been diligent; we have now completed three units of study in Open Court Reading and Everyday Mathematics. We had our game face on and tackled our Unit 3 Math assessment on Friday. The assessments at the first grade level are a snapshot of skills, concepts, and topics we have covered in the unit of study. These assessments are a way of practicing test taking skills. There is no real preparation necessary for the first grade assessments. As long as your child has been participating and working hard, they will be successful.

Remember to check our learning targets each week. They are intended to inform you of what we will be working on in school and a suggestion of topics you can practice at home. Reading nightly and having great family conversation are always encouraged.


In closing, we enjoyed a three day weekend in honor of Veteran's Day earlier this month. I am including a picture of one of my heros...my cousin Seamus. He has been like a brother to me growing up, and he just came home from his second tour of duty overseas in Iraq. He will be deployed for his third tour overseas sometime next year. Thank you so much to those who serve this great country!
