Helping Hands at Home:
Please continue to study for Weekly Review Assessments (these scores let us know how well your child is progressing through first grade content). Also, don’t be alarmed if the assessment questions are asked a little differently from the review…we are assessing the skill not the exact format of the question which helps us to see how well they understand the concept. Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions. The First Grade Team J
