Happy New Year!

Welcome back from what sounds to be a great break (at least according to the boys!)

Things are going well. Everyone for the most part is back into the swing of things and we are off and running to a great start!

We are currently going into PALs testing for mid-year. So far, these new scores are looking great!

In terms of curriculum, we are currently learning about ordinal numbers in math. We are also practicing touch math to help make addition and subtraction easier. I will send home a sheet soon so that you can see what touch math looks like.

We are chugging away at reading. Some of our friends are working on the "silent e" in their writing while others are obsessing over reading chunks and blends.

Today, we are celebrating having the most compliments for first grade with a cookie party thrown by Mrs. Cassarino in addition to having the best behavior at lunch with a fine dining experience! It's going to be a great day!
