Hi Everyone-
We apologize for the lack of posts over the past month. Things have been going well in the classroom, and we have lots of new updates for you! Think Central: We sent home a small blue card with your child's ID information as well as their passwords. If you have misplaced the card, each child has a sticker with the same information inside their Take Home folders. After logging in, there are 3 choices-Things to Do, My Library, and My Test Scores. For this school year, the only choice we will be using with the students is "My Library". On "My Library", the children can explore four different 'books'. The "Enrich With Projects" link is an online workbook with challenge activities matched to the different learning objectives in each unit. These pages are not interactive-you would need to print them out before working on them. "iTools" is a fun option for using different online manipulatives and just practicing skills we are working on in the classroom. "Math Expressions Activity Book" is the online version of the workbook we use in class. We have completed book 1, but the kids could go back and review skills they have already learned. "Harcourt Mega Math" has a wide variety of games. After choosing one of the 6 main headings, there are many games within the heading to choose from. School Store: The school store will be open on Wednesdays, starting next week. Click on the word "School" for schedule information, and "Store" for rules/expectations. High Frequency Words: At conferences, we are sharing test results for your children's knowledge of high frequency words. At the time of testing, we only used the first 88 words. By the end of the year, the children should have at least 85% mastery of the entire list. You can click on "High Frequency Words" for the complete list, or find it any time on our Parent Links page. First Grade News: Don't forget, on the first Wednesday of each month, our grade level newsletter is posted on the school's website. We do not send a hard copy home (unless there is a parent request). The newsletter shares what we will be teaching each month as well as informational items and calendar dates. Thank you for checking in!
