Okay, so now what do we do with a whole week of school. It is good to get the kids back in the swing of things as CRT testing will be happening for students in grades 3-8 and 10 March 8-12.

1st Grade Reading:
Students are coming home nightly with a story to read. They do not need to bring back the worksheets we have been doing. Those are just for you to see how they are doing. If they have a stamp on them they needed to make no corrections and did it independently. If they have an OK on it they required some assistance in finding the correct answer. Please try to remember to have them follow along with their pointer finger when they read. Ask them what their pointer finger is!!!
