Testing!

We will be taking the CoGAT test on next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday during the morning. Please make sure that your child gets a good night's rest, eats a nutritional breaksfast, and is present and on time each day of testing!   

Wish Tree!

We could use packs of playing cards and post-it notes. Students love using these during their independent center time. Thanks!

Reminders

Wednesday the school store will be open.Bring your money before school to get some great stuff!

Thursday we will be going to the Media Center to check out books. Please return them to school before Thursday. If your child has an AR book, he or she will need to take their test before Thursday!

What's Going On!

Monday's are Talent Development Days! The students get to go to Mrs. Long's room, one of our gifted teachers, to work on problem solving and critical thinking skills. She really works hard at trying to strech the students' thinking.  A huge part of what she does involves LISTENING and FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS! Something that sounds so easy, but is so hard for first graders. These skill will help students when they take to COGAT at the end of this month. Ask your child to show what he or she did today!
