Our Week In Review
It has been a fantastic week in First Grade!
Technology Update
HEADPHONES NEEDED
We will be receiving our 1 to 1 I pad devices very soon. Each learner will need to provide his or her own headphones. We store these in our cubbies, so durability and comfort are key! Learners tend to prefer headphones with a cushiony earpiece, as opposed to ear buds, that often do not fit properly. We use our I pads with sound for several district online assessments, as well as other enrichments to our curriculum, such as a self guided tour of George Washington's home at Mt. Vernon! Thank you for your support!
