- I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and a relaxing Spring Break!  The kids all seemed a bit taller when I saw them today!  We are almost in the homestretch, and I am so proud of their efforts this year in first grade!

-There will be a math test this Friday on telling and writing time to the hour and half-hour (exactly like tonight's homework.)  Today we reviewed drawing the hour hand short, and half past the hour when the time is to the half-hour, so hopefully they will be okay with that during homework tonight.
