Ms. Brooks' Class
January 19th - February 2nd

Hello First Grade Families!!
These past few weeks have been crazy with us missing days due to inclement weather or teacher work days. I am very happy that we will have a full week of class that will be filled with lots of learning and fun! We have been reviewing our own classroom rules as well as how we can SOAR in school. We will be working hard on reviewing what we have learned and building our knowledge with new content. We will continue to give MOY assessments in ELA and Math and will communicate the results when assessments are completed.
