I almost can't believe it has been close to 4 weeks since we started school. The first graders have already shown so much growth! We finished the addition chapter last week. Today we started talking about subtraction. We used pictures to make a model of story problems. It was a little tricky to remember to "take away" rather than "put together" so we will keep practicing looking for clues that tell us to add or subtract.
This week we will read and discuss all about pets and what makes them special. We will read texts that tell about how to take care of a pet and what happens when you take a pet to school. The story for this week will also be our model for writing our own fictional stories with make-believe pets. I am excited to see what ideas the first graders have for their stories!
There are several events coming up to mark on your calendars. SEP conferences will be Wednesday and Thursday of next week. You can reserve your time at https://www.canyoncreeksoftware.com/scheduler/ut/granite/index.cfm. The password is upland. Menchies is hosting a fundraising night tomorrow from 3 to 10 PM. All money raised will help fund other Upland events throughout the year. The Fall Social is this Thursday starting at 6:30. This will be a fun night full of field-day-themed games for the whole family to participate. Come catch up with friends and have a night of fun! First grade will be going to Red Butte on October 3 from 12:30-2:30. I am looking for 3 volunteers that can meet us there to help the garden volunteers with a small group. That and a few other volunteer opportunities are online, ready to be filled. Please click on the volunteer tab to find a volunteer spot just for you!
Have a wonderful week!
