Congratulations were in order for Team 210 as we officially made it to the 90th day of school! Your kiddos are half-way to becoming second graders! Can you believe it?
I certainly can't! They say, "Time flies when you're having fun," for a reason! I am so proud of how far each student has come! Each has shown growth in reading fluency and decoding skills, fact fluency in math and use of math vocabulary, confidence in participation and demonstration of social skills and self-regulation strategies! Just last week I had to approve our class composite page for the yearbook and each student even LOOKS so much older than they did back in September! I'm sure you've noticed this too! This has been a wonderful period of growth, and we still have half a year to go! This week we celebrated our 90th day of school with first grade rotations on Friday. Each classroom teacher prepared a different lesson around the concept of one-half and shared it with each group of first graders! At the end of the day, we were visited by the "Mad Halfer" who demonstrated for us, that no matter the size of the paper, it can only be folded no more than 7 times! This week begins our week-long science, space rotations, in preparation for our field trip to the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord, and the continuation of mid-year benchmarking! Have a wonderful week, first-grade families, and enjoy just a few photos of the kids with the Mad Halfer!
