Twenty-Fifth Day

We concentrated today on the spelling pattern 'short-vowel-ck'. This is the rule that will separate our snacks from our snakes. We discussed a selection on spiders (our favorite), and how they are hunters which set traps to catch their food.

We completed our topic 3 math test. Results will be posted soon. This test was somewhat easier than our first two.

To let you know, our schedule does not always allow for make-up testing. If your child is absent the day of the test, there may not be an opportunity for re-testing. This is also partially due to the nature of first grade tests requiring a proctor. They are not taken independently. I usually only administer a make-up test if I need to have a particular score.

Congratulations to table 1 for completing the week with enough grams to meet the standard and a balance left to begin next week.

Thanks to parents for consistently sending notes with your child when they are absent. Everyone has been really good so far about sending a note after an absence.
