This week signals the end of the first quarter. We've progressed nicely and will continue working toward the goal of READY FOR 2nd GRADE! Included in the report card results, will also be the IXL Math, and RAZ-KIDS READING reports. I think you'll be pleased with all the information, and for those of you with internet connectivity problems, I understand.
Let's have another great week, although shortened, and include reading daily and writing response journals 2 to 3 times a week. Thank you for all your help.
