In reading we are continuing to work with

summarizing as we read.  Please continue to

read at home each day. We are seeing much

reading growth in these first grade friends….AWESOME!

Topic 10 is all about strategies to add tens and ones. 

We will be using models, mental math, and 100 charts.

We are still working with place value of 2 digit numbers. 

When we begin topic 11 we will be using strategies to subtract ten.   

For writing we will be working on opinion writing.

The writers are persuading and supporting their

opinions with evidence….big work for first graders. :)

Once we finish traveling through space in science

we will start studying parts of plants.  

Just a reminder that we are still playing outside

at recess time, so please continue to send proper

winter attire.  It is also important to have shoes

for inside of the classroom.

Thanks for your continued support.
