Week of 3/4

We loved working with real coins 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 :)

- Second trimester closes on Friday.

- Grades 2 and up will be taking the Terra Nova tests this week, but we will be having a normal week and start Unit 6 in reading.

- Due to the short week, we will not test in reading or spelling. 

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

- Don't forget leprechaun traps should be sent to school next Friday, March 15th!

Have a great week!
