Hello first grade families,

I want to thank you all for the birthday wishes. This past week we worked on grouping through our tens and ones columns. In their work, the children are given a number, and while either using gems or acorns, they count by tens to create the rounded number. Then they count out the number in the ones column. For example, the number 46 would have four groups of 10 gems and then a single group of 6 gems.

As a reminder sight words are to be brought back every Wednesday so that we are able to switch them for the following week. If they do not bring them on Wednesday they will not be able to switch the older cards out with the new.

Each child needs to have rain gear. We will go outside even if it is raining, and it is important that each child has the proper gear. Also, please remember to sign up for a parent conference time slot. I look forward to meeting with all of you next week!

Thank you,

Ki Aja
