The first 6 days or cycle 1 has been very successful. The students have been learning the routines of the classroom and the rules of the school.
In reading, the students have their just right books and are busy building their reading fluency and stamina.
In math, we are beginning to build our math fluency with groups of 5. Your child is beginning to see numbers within numbers. For example, 5 has the number bonds of 4 and 1, 3 and 2, 0 and 5. Imagine, we are only in the first week of school, what will they be able to do months from now? I can't wait.
In writing we have begun our narrative unit. The class is seeing the difference between writing a story about a pea pod (a big idea) and writing about a small moment of time (a pea in the pod). Having the students relate their stories to a pea allows them to begin to write rich, detailed stories rather than more general stories.
Don't forget:
to send in a pair of earbuds for your child to use with our i Pads.
to wear sneakers on Monday for Gym class
to have your child sneakers double knotted when they come to school. (this helps me throughout the day..... believe me... Thanks a bunch)
Next week: Constitution Day, our initial first grade wide assembly with Ms. Black, and Monday night football with the Eagles
Thank you to all the parent who came to Back to School Night. I enjoyed meeting all of you. We had a great turnout.
