Hello first grade families!
First and foremost, I hope everyone gets well soon and that you are able to rejoin the class and friends after break!
We have been able to work on groupings of tens and ones while looking at the numbers that were <,> or =. We added numbers together by using gems/acorns and grouping them by tens and by ones. The students were then able to visualize the numbers and add them together.
The students are continuing to work on counting by 3's, 2's, 5,'s and 10's. They continue to progress through games and activities. Everyday, the children show improvement in their skills and enjoy showing their classmates how they are progressing.
We will be ending our math block at the end of February and will be starting back up with our language arts block. The children bring home sight words every Wednesday for them to look over for the week. It is important that they bring them in every Wednesday so that everyone is able to practice different sight words.
As a reminder please ensure that your child is bringing in the clothing that they need for the outdoors. The weather appears to be constantly changing and therefore it is a good idea that the students are prepared for the more harsh weather.
Thank you,
Ki Aja
