The first graders took their first accelerated reader tests in the computer lab today. We will travel to the lab each day to take AR tests, practice math facts, and work on other reading programs. Your child will be bringing an AR book home on Mon., Tues., Wed., and Thursday with no assigned books for the weekend. At the end of the week generally a minimum of 4 tests will be taken.
As I look over at the bouquet of beautiful roses from my daughter's wedding, I am reminded of my class of first graders. Each rose with its exquisite and unique beauty opens its blossom in its own good time. Of course, a steady supply of water and a comfortable temperature must be provided so the environment is conducive to the rose. With the rich learning environment provided at home and school, each beautiful first grader will also bloom in his/her own good time. The AR program allows us to tailor the reading to each individual so he/she is able to progress at the rate that is correct for him/her. If you have questions about the program, please don't hesitate to contact me. Happy reading! :)
Your partner in education,
