Happy Thanksgiving!! And it's snowing!! Reminder that there is NO SCHOOL next week. We will resume on Monday, November 28th. Report cards will come home today:) Please remember that a student receiving a 2 at the beginning of the year is showing that they can do the 1st grade work but still need some help from their teacher. For comments from Ms. Hernandez and Mrs. Bryan-Doherty refer to the form that was given to you at conference time. Please see below for a visual about the 1,2,3,4 grading system:)

*Author Visit
Joan Arent, a local author, is coming to visit our ECE-1st graders on December 9th. Joan will teach not only what it takes to be an author and illustrator but also what it takes to have proactive problem solving skills to overcome life's challenges with her newest book, "Slumps, Bumps, and Triumphs." You can find out more and preorder her books through www.itstiks.com.
1: Below Expectations (I am just starting out. I need the teacher right by my side.)
2: Sometimes Meets Expectations (I am grasping some concepts, but I still need the teacher close by.)
3: Meets Expectations: (I can completely master the standard independently!)
4: Exceeds Expectations: (I met grade level expectations and I am on to new scenery.)
Have a wonderful break!!!
With Gratitude,
Mrs. Bryan-Doherty and Ms. Hernandez
