Eighty-First Day

The following coming instructional week's preview will be forthcoming; we have slowed to a snail's pace in order to fit in assessments.

We will hopefully take Topic 11 math test tomorrow.

At the end of the week, we will be taking home our world maps to be studied for our social studies test.

Forty-Third Day

Today we discussed absolute and relative location and read a nonfiction selection, On the Map, about locating places on a map. We discussed the main idea and details in order to help us summarize the selection. We also played the main idea/details game which 1st graders just love; go ahead and try it at home. We also read a nonfiction selection about animal camouflage.

On the Topic 7 math test 22 students out of 24 passed with a score of 17 or better; two students got a perfect score.
