Families, please check out the following three articles. One is about our Common Core Standards that I told you about during Meet the Teacher night. It is nice to see that professors in college are recognizing the value in them and anticipate a change in a positive direction. The second two are on using technology and a hands-on approach to learning. I found them valuable and I hope you will too.

Great pictures! It looks like everybody showed up ready to learn and have fun.
Hi 1st Graders, Looks like you had a great first day of school! I can't wait to see more pictures of all the exciting things you are doing in class. Hi Trent!
Hi 1st graders! I have really enjoyed seeing all the pictures and hearing about what you are learning. Math and popsicles are the perfect combination. Yum!! Hi Emmett!
Hi first graders,
A proper noun is a unique person or place. My 2 favorites are: Emmett and Bannockburn.
Have a great day!
