End of quarter assessments are underway. We finished up running records last week and we will be focusing on math assessments this week. 

Thanks to everyone that signed up to bring in items for the "Matter Unit". Don't forget that we need all items by January 30th. 

Please click here to fill out the Science-Go-Round lunch survey for your child. The Science-Go-Round is on February 24th. We need to submit our lunch order form to the cafeteria by the end of next week. 

We are in the final stretch of our country unit. The presentations have been outstanding this year!  This week we are going to be learning about Africa and next week we will review the world. 


On January 27th at 10:00, there will be a 1st grade Scavenger Hunt to wrap up this unit. It is a lot of fun and a great opportunity for your child to show you what he/she learned throughout the unit. You are all invited to attend the Scavenger Hunt! If you are able to attend, please click here to let us know.


Here are some pictures of some of our presentations:

Mrs. Wright's in-laws just returned from a 4 month stay in China on January 31st. They came to Joyner to share their experiences with the 1st grade. 

This is how Chinese students are expected to sit all day - hands behind their backs and sitting  up straight!
