Thank you for such a great first week! The first graders are doing really well learning all about our routines and schedule.
We started the first math chapter today on addition. Today we used pictures to add. The focus of this chapter is addition as a concept, so the first graders will be practicing putting two groups together in different ways.
We are also reviewing letter sounds during phonics lessons. The class learned a sort of code to help put the sounds together in simple words. A few students wrote the code down in their planners so they can explain it to someone at home. The theme of the first reading unit is working together. We will read short stories and selections about how to work together. It is exciting to see students start to make connections between texts as we read!
Thank you, THANK YOU for all your donations! I have never started a year with so many things from the list. It has made this time of year so much easier when everything is new to the students. I greatly appreciate all your support!
Have a wonderful week,
Mrs. Glenn
