Practice ACAP testing begins this week. Please read the following letter sent home last week, about the collection of digital devices before testing and the ACAP practice schedule.

The learning intention this week in the library for first grade is retelling and sequencing the events of the story in order. We read This is the House that Monsters Built by Steve Metzger. After the read aloud, students got to build a house for their monster.
