It has been quite a productive 7 weeks of school. Our first graders are growing in so may ways. I hope that their growth is shining through as you converse around the dinner table. I am sure the next exciting topic will be how funny our character "Owl" is in the new books we are reading or possibly the new knowledge about matter and the three types of matter. I am sure you are as excited as I am to see them blossoming.
We are moving steadily along in the first quarter with only three weeks left. Continue all your encouragement and support.
