Week of 3/6

We loved working with real money last week!

Dear Parents, 

The second trimester closes this Friday and I can assure you that this last trimester will FLY by. In this final trimester, we really focus on responsibility, independence and self control. We talk a lot about being "almost second graders" and what being in second grade entails. One of the best parts of teaching first grade is seeing the growth that each child makes in 9 short months. Thinking back from September until now they are completely different kiddos! I am sure you see it too :)

- Grades 2 and up will be taking the Terra Nova tests this week, but we will be having a normal week and start a new story!

- We will have a math test on money on Thursday. The kids have been doing really well with this and we will continue to practice this week to prepare for the test! A review will be sent home for homework on Wednesday.

- No school for students on Friday! Enjoy the long weekend!

- Don't forget leprechaun traps should be sent to school next Friday, March 17th!

Have a great week!
