MAPS testing
First graders take part in a MAPS testing on the computer. This is not something for your child to stress about. We will take these test in the chilly computer lab, so please send a light jacket with your child on these days. Please read the attached letter with information regarding the testing. We will do MAPS testing on the following dates:
September 26
October 1, 8, and 15
Scholastic Book Order
Your child is bringing home a Scholastic Book Order form. This is a great way to build your child's library at home at a reasonable price. Also, for every book ordered, our class earns points for free books. If you would like to order, you may use the online code (on the form) or send in a check made payable to Scholastic. Orders and money are due by Friday, September 13.
What We Are Learning
- Reading Workshop- selecting 'just right' books for independent reading; concepts about print
- Writing Workshop- planning a book from beginning to end, authors get ideas from things they do, staying focused on writing
- Math Workshop- number sense, collecting 20 and showing it in multiple ways, counting from one number to another, number order
