*The Scholastic Book Fair will be here Next week, September 18-22nd.
*Picture Day~ September 18th😁
We have had a great first couple of weeks in first grade. The children have been working hard on learning our routines, expectations, getting to know each other, and what it means to be a first grader. We have begun working together to establish classroom rules linked to their hopes and dreams. I am looking forward to next week!
Literacy~
We have been working on our learning goals for the year, "hopes and dreams." Each child will choose an academic and social hope and dream that they will work in for the entire year. We have been reading some literature to help the children grasp the concept of goal goal setting.
Math Focus:
How do mathematicians organize collections in order to quickly count?
How do mathematicians write equations and represent their thinking?
This is a HUGE concept. We have been counting collections, or large groups of objects. The mathematicians need to figure out a way to organize the objects in order to count them accurately and efficiently. We have figures out the we can group the objects by 5's and 10's to make it easier to count.
