This Week in First Grade:

Reading: We will begin working in small reading groups based on what each child needs. The children will be mixed up from all three first grades.

You can look at their work by logging into their Google Drives. Their sign in name is first.last@kearsarge.org and the password is krsd(lunch number). I can get you your child's lunch number if you need it.
