Does my child need to bring their library book to school each day?

Yes. Students are asked to read their library book during class time. They 
may take their Accelerated Reader (AR) test on their book when they feel 
that they are ready. Our library day is every Thursday, although they may 
check out another book as soon as they take the AR test.

No. First Grade students practice reading books and taking AR tests to 
prepare them for Second Grade. This is an enjoyable experience for students 
to develop a love of reading!

Parents write the name of the book that they read aloud to their child each

count towards the homework grade.

When is the spelling test?

The spelling test is every Friday. Students are given a list of words every 
Monday. During the week, students do activities with those words. They write 
each word 5 times each, write each word in a sentence, and write the list of 
words in alphabetical order. During P.E., Mrs. Handy incorporates the 
spelling words into her activities also.
