First Grade October Newsletter

The first-graders are off and running.  They have taken the ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Skills); some have taken Accelerated Reader quizzes.  The team took a field trip to the College of the Albemarle to see a fire safety program.  The students thoroughly enjoyed the program.  They received flashlights and were told what to do in case of a fire.  The students are identifying geometric shapes; this is a good way to ask what your students are learning in school.  The first-graders will be studying Columbus Day soon, and they will learn about pumpkins.
