Welcome to all of our First Grade Families! I can hardly believe that we are 7 weeks into our school year already. We have had so much fun already working on reading, writing and math skills.
Here's what's going on in Math:
-We have spent the last week exploring early addition - using sums up to 20.
-We have practiced writing our own addition sentences and finding the sums for them.
-We have worked on comparing numbers to see which numbers are larger and smaller (greater and less than).
-We have spent time putting numbers in order and looking at their relationships.
Other math skills that we are practicing include - calendar time, counting by 10's, 2's, and 5's, tally marks, patterns, counting by 1's to 110, reviewing the days of the week and months of the year and quickly recognizing numbers in a set.
In literacy, we have introduced many sight words, practice reading at our own levels and with each other as a whole group. We have learned about punctuation and capitalization at the beginning of sentences. We have been practicing writing our own stories, working towards 2-3 sentences at a time. Our spelling tests are going well so far - keep practicing those words each week as you see them come home in the G.O. - Getting Organized books. I will try to update our spelling lists on here as well.
Upcoming Dates:
October 7 - No School - Teacher Inservice
October 17-21 - Fall Break - No School
Thank you for supporting your child's education - your support and encouragement is essential to their success!
