I hope you all enjoyed this beautiful weekend. It wasn't exactly winter, but the sunshine was welcome. I also noticed that it was quite light at 7 AM, which is a sign of brighter days ahead.
This week will be a testing week in first grade, with a unit 2 benchmark test in Reading Streets, and two math tests : unit 5, and the midyear test. We will break up the testing over several days, so the kids should not feel overwhelmed.
In science, we are finishing up our study of living and non-living things, and moving on to magnets. We have lots of magnets for the kids to experiment with.
Miss Yarnall, our St. Anselm's student, has been very busy. She is "publishing" stories for all of the students, and assisting at the art center where the kids made those cute triceratop models. If you haven't seen yours yet, they will be coming home on Monday.
Wednesday brings February, and that of course means Valentine's Day. We will be exchanging cards - I will send home more information, including student's first names, next week.
