Week of September 24, 2018

Please Note

- Test folders will be sent home on Tuesday. Please sign each test and return on Wednesday.

- We will have our first Religion test on Thursday. Please use the review sheet to study.

- First in Math usernames and passwords can be found inside of each child's Homework Copybook. This is a website that should be used at home to review math skills throughout the year and will also be given as math homework on some nights. Please try to have your child sign in at some point this week and walk them through some of the activities if you have time. We will be giving it a try in the classroom later this week, too. If you have any questions please let me know!

- Reading Eggs passwords can also be found in their Homework Copybook. This is the subscription you paid for with the supply fee this summer. They have included a free subscription for each child to their Math Seeds program. Both are great sites to utilize, in addition to First in Math, for practicing first grade skills online.
- Our field trip to Highland Orchards has been booked for Tuesday, October 30th! Permission forms will be sent home in the coming weeks. I will also send a separate email later this week in regards to chaperones.
