What a busy and short week! Today is the end of the nine weeks. Tomorrow is a Teacher Inservice and workday. We will have progress reports ready to send home on Friday, March 13. In Reading we have finished the last stories in Level 1.4 and will be testing next week. I will also be giving vocabulary tests during this time. With the 3 day weekend it would be a good idea to review words with your child. I'm so proud of our 1st Grade Reading Superstars! During the month of February our students read 330 books! Today I'm treating the class to ice cream bars!

Math has kept us busy with learning about expanded form and regrouping this week. The children think they are doing magic when they are using the tens and ones place value models to perform regrouping! Homework this weekend should prepare them for a diagnostic checkup on Monday.

Savannah's mom shared a very cool website for spelling with me! www.spellingcity.com Your child can enter their spelling words, take practice lessons, play games, and be tested. It's just amazing! I will have this site bookmarked under "Learning Links" on our school K-5 web page. Thanks Julie!

It's feeling like SPRING in the air! Remember to set your clocks ahead Saturday night as we'll wake up 1 hour earlier on Sunday morning.
