Second Quarter Here We Come!

Whew!  Sorry the blog hasn't been updated in almost a month!  Its been a little rough with the new curriculum, new online grade book, report cards, etc.  I promise I will be better about keeping the blog up to date for those few who actually look at it from time to time...

Speaking of new...  We are starting our new Math curriculum this week, so math papers coming home will look different!  Most pages will be marked as to whether it is classwork or homework, and I usually check all classwork as we go.  So, the same rules as always apply:  If you aren't sure if it is homework or not, have your child complete the work and hand it in.  I will sort it out!  The first grade decided to start at the beginning with the new curriculum.  Built into the new system is a way for each child to have review or enrichment activities if they need them.  The first grade will also be doing re-teach and enrich groups at the end of each topic (unit) to make sure everyone has learned what they need to learn!  Our first topic will last two weeks and is "Understanding Addition".

Please be sure to let me know if you have any questions!
