Welcome to the second half of first grade. We have been very busy since returning from winter break. We are sorry that it has been so long since we entered a post on this blog though we have been in communication in other ways!
We want to highlight a few things that will be coming up.
- Please check out our computer teacher, Kirsten's, blog. It is full of useful information and links that you can follow to find all matter of interesting programs for your child.

- In two weeks we will be sending home a major homework project for your child. It is an African-American biography book report project and they will have one month to check out a book, read the book, write the paper and create a project of some kind. All of the instructions will be coming home and there is no need to panic. This is a heads up. Please know that we all have many first grade appropriate biographies that are available for check out, as does our school library.
- Fluency will be a part of our next unit test in Treasures which will be given in about three weeks and will begin to be a part of their reading report card grade. Please keep practicing the weekly fluency passages to help them prepare.
We watched a video in class that showed an elephant painting! We had read a book that told about elephants learning to paint and they have written about elephants these past two weeks. We've included a link to this video here.

Have a great week!
