Welcome to Camarena’s First Grade Blog

Welcome to the ’20-’21 school year! We are all excited to meet our 1^st grade Robo Griffins and start the new year!  While it may not be under ideal conditions, we will work together to provide a meaningful school experience from a distance until we can safely return back to the school site.

Our blog will be our main source of communication. Please make sure that you refer to it for updates on a regular basis.

We thank you in advance for your support and look forward to an amazing school year!

Warm Regards,

The 1st Grade Team

Upcoming Mid-year iReady Assessment

Students will be taking the iReady Mid-year Assessment during class on Tuesday, 1/19/21, and Wednesday, 1/20/21, beginning at 8:30 a.m. At this time, adult help may be needed to log in to iReady while remaining on the Zoom meeting.
Please help your child prepare by having them get plenty of rest the night before, eating a healthy breakfast, and arriving to class on time. It will be critical for students to complete this assessment independently to demonstrate what they have learned so far. The iReady assessment will have some difficult problems that your child may not know, but please encourage them to answer the best that they can. Parents, siblings, and others should NOT be helping during the assessment.
