MAP Testing: Students in 1A did an excellent job managing and completing their MAP testing this week.  I am very proud of their hard work!

Upcoming Star of the Week:  Andrew Hague

Math: We are working through unit three, Five and Ten Relationships.  This is a quick unit, which will wrap up next Thursday.  Up next is our fourth unit, Addition and Subtraction Facts to 12.  

Phonics:  We are nearing the end of our third unit, which focuses on digraphs.  After the assessment at the end of next week, we will begin our fourth unit which focuses on the bonus letters spelling rule (pill, cuff, fuss) and the glued sound all.  

Religion: Students are learning about Jesus and his family and how we relate to our families, using the Holy Family.

Guided Reading:  Guided reading continued this week.  Every group spent time reading, and completing a written assignment related to their book. The goal of the written work is to ensure students have appropriate comprehension of what is read.  Students worked to read independently, chorally, and through page alternation in their small group.  

Have a great weekend!
