Hi! Today we had an awesome day of learning. It amazes me how much first graders can learn so quickly!!! I also wanted to tell you that I really appreciate YOU, the parents! Its helps so much when you the parents work on reading everyday with your child, homework, and practicing sight words. Thanks!

We are lucky enough that our school purchased 2 wonderful online programs that are designed specifically to meet your child's need. The programs are aligned with your child's NWEA scores and it setups activities that are at their level. Please feel free to access these programs and set your child up to work on for about 25-30 minutes a day. This is a great tool to use, especially when your child says "I am bored..." put them on the computer!!! You can access the links on the right.
