I hope all of our first graders and their families have had a great weekend and are sharpening the saw! Mrs. Palmer, Ms. Schwager and I wanted to make sure our parents knew about a couple of great resources for reinforcing math and reading content at home. Thanks to JCPS there is a blog that gives you "how to" videos, apps & computer games that will help with practicing 1st grade math skills at home. We hope you take advantage of this great resource! Just click on the link below.

There is also a GREAT app that is made my Scholastic called Bookwizard. This app helps you choose books that are on your child's reading level. All you have to do is scan the book and it will list the DRA level (reading level) for that book. (It will also list other reading levels but look for the one that says DRA. That is the program we use to test their reading level.)

I also wanted to share a video from a few weeks ago during Sharpen the Saw. We worked our minds by doing seek and finds & listened to Disney music. Frozen's "Let It Go" came on and let's just say the students sure showed off their singing abilities. Enjoy!
