March Digital Choice Board
If your student is absent or you are looking for ideas of things for your Firstie to do at home, please follow the link above to our digital choice board.
Academic Update
This time of year is so critical in 1st grade. Please help us keep the momentum going by asking your Firstie about what they are learning in class! New homework sheets came home on Friday. As always, our focus is on reading.
We are:
Adding multiples of 10
Telling time
Counting money
Working on word problems
Comparing and contrasting characters, settings, plots in our reading
Using venn diagrams
Writing about community helpers
Working on our reading stamina
Learning about long vowel patterns including the “sometimes y”
Practicing our character strengths
Take home books
Every student has been given a book at his or her level to bring home and practice reading to you or other family members. Each time a student brings a book back to school I will replace it with a new one. The goal is to improve confidence and increase fluency. If you’ve not seen a book, check with your child. Please be sure to return books as loss negatively affects our classroom library.
Math bags
How are the math bags going? Have you been using your supplies? Is your Firstie enjoying playing the game with you? I’d love to hear from you and see some pictures of families learning math together!
