Math Fact Practice

You may have notice a couple adding fact practice papers come home this week.  We will now be working on addition facts and most nights your first grader will have fact practice as homework.  Please have your child complete the facts and then parents need to check it and sign on the bottom.  Please have your child fix any mistakes.  We will also be having fact assessments about once a week.

Building will be starting soon for the new Early Childhood Center.  Please watch the banner for announcements and updates.  The biggest change next week will be to our recess.  The playground area will change and will be moved to a fenced in portion of the upper lot.
