Writing to Read

Hello Everyone,
     I cannot believe we are almost through the first half of the second trimester.  The first grade students are doing great across the board.  In the Writing to Read program as you know everyone moves at an independent pace.  Your child has a goal for reading and writing.  We are learning how important it is to set goals and how fun it is when we try and reach them.  Ask your child what their reading goal is for March 2nd. We have added weekend reading to help them reach the goal faster.  Thank you so much with helping them with all of their homework and making sure it is returned the next day.  Don't forget they can get on IXL our computer math program at home.  They each have a password, but if they forgot drop me a note or give me a call and I can easily get it for you.  Animal research will be underway soon.  The students are thrilled.  It should and will be a great six weeks.  Maybe more!  Our days are jammed packed.  Monday is Martin Luther King Jr day so this is your reminder no school on Monday.  Have a great week!
