Hello All! I hope you had a restful weekend and are ready for our four day week! Last week, we finished our NWEA math test so we are officially done with testing until December, woo hoo! I do love to see how the student do on these first few assessments because it helps me target specific areas to work on in the classroom. You will have an extra long weekend coming up. As I said previously, we do not have school on Friday, it is a teacher workday. There is also no school on Monday in observance of Labor Day. Just a heads up, I will be out of town from September 8th-12th. I am a bridesmaid in one of my best friends weddings in Madison, Wisconsin. Our sub will be Nanci Sexton who most of the students have had before. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Here are some pictures from last week! Being silly in line and showing RAMS behavior! Have a great week! -Miss Turco

Happy Monday! We have another busy week ahead! First of all, thank you to all the parents who came to our first grade Curriculum Night! Hopefully you learned some helpful information about the school year. If you were not able to attend, I sent home the informational packet with your child last week.

Please make sure your child has a healthy breakfast so they are able to do their best! Here are some math pictures. We started out math journals and they have been a huge hit! Such a great way to extend their learning. We also played a fun "Move to Music" game to make teen numbers! Reminders

We have done Walk to Read the last three years and have found that students experience great success as they are challenged at their level to learn first grade reading content. **Homework starts this week! A HW packet will be handed out by your child's Walk to Read teacher. ** NWEA testing begins this week. Our class will be testing in the computer lab on Wednesday at 2:00 and on Thursday at 10:00.

All of first grade will have curriculum night in the Library. Remember to check back here each week for important class information. I will always have a new post by Monday. Please let me know if you have any questions. -Miss Turco :) What a great first week of school! I am so excited to have such an amazing group of students this year. This week we learned all about our classroom and school procedures. We talked about what behavior is expected in first grade, and practiced being Rover RAMS all around school. This group has been soaring to the challenge already. We are going to have a fabulous year! Our class was featured in a back to school video by the Tempe District. Here we are, super engaged during an intense moment in our story! We took team pictures with our new table groups! I told them to "strike a pose!" Green Table Yellow Table Blue Table Orange Table Purple Table We had so much fun getting to know each other and working together this week!
