Spring Conferences

This year’s Spring Conferences will be March 22nd and 24th. These conferences will be different from fall conferences in that they are not student-led but more conversation focused and a chance to look at data about your child’s growth this year. I am asking that your child doesn’t attend. Please let me know if you have any questions! 

Data Sheets

I started updating the data sheets in your child’s take home folder this week.  Checkout those colored pieces of paper to see how your child is doing on sight words, number recognition, counting to 120, and writing to 120. I wrote their current reading level in it as well. Next quarter we will focus more on knowing our addition and subtraction facts within 10.  I will fill out those data sheets next quarter.
