Informational Meetings

We have many informational meetings district wide to address questions and concerns that members of our community may have.  This Thursday we have a parent forum at PPS from 6-6:45pm.  The topic will be literacy and our district literacy coordinator will be there along with our principal and teaching representatives. 

If you are looking for more information about how educational dollars are being spent in Colchester, there are two meetings scheduled.  Please check out our Colchester community blog to learn more about that:

CSDSpotlight- Educational Dollars Informational Forum

It is important to be informed about our community and school(s).

We had (another!) amazing day in room 12.  The first graders loved coming to school in their PJs to celebrate a full warm-fuzzy bear.  And... we couldn't BELIEVE this, but we filled the bear AGAIN this afternoon!  That is a LOT of warm fuzzies!  To celebrate, we stopped everything we were doing and went out for an extra recess right before art.  We were so excited to celebrate immediately and were really proud of ourselves for working so hard to be safe, be respectful and be ready to learn. 

In math, we've been working on strategies for fast facts.  Check out these first graders applying those strategies to add three numbers together, something we've never done before!

We worked to re-tell stories in order today during literacy.  We realized that it is important to tell the events in the order that they happen- it makes more sense! 

In writing, we used a self-assessment checklist to edit our stories.  We are such hard-working first graders.
