Unit 2 Math Assessment

We took our Unit 2 math assessment today.  We did such a fabulous job.  We all worked hard to "show what you know!"  We love having an opportunity to "show what [we] know" because we can demonstrate how much we've learned.  We learn a lot in first grade!  What was most impressive was that every single student improved from the pre-assessment.  We were so proud to see how much we've grown as learners during unit 2. You will be able to see your child's assessment results on the parent portal by the end of the week.  I will also send a copy home in folders so you're able to see the actual test.  

We worked on mapping stories today in literacy.  Mapping stories is important because it helps us draw out the most important parts of a story.  Ask your first grader to tell you what we find on a story map.  The best part is, soon, we can use story maps to plan our own writing.

In writing we added Title and Author pages to our stories.  We feel like accomplished writers when our writing is so fancy.  We are excited to have our stories on display in our classroom.
