          What We're Doing...


In math, our first graders are working on solving number stories that are getting more and more difficult. We are learning that there are many different strategies we can use to solve these number stories and  we are discovering what works best for us. We are also working on using number lines and number grids to count up (addition) and count back (subtraction). We are practicing skip counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s and using what we know about number patterns to complete frames and arrows diagrams.






In our Unit 2 of Science, we are learning about measurements and weight. During this unit, we are going to work as engineers to create a communication device.





In our Unit 2 of Social Studies, we are learning about families and the community we live in. Students are learning about the different families and their dynamics. Students are also learning about the community they live in and the different communities around the world.
