1st Grade News
Dear First Grade Families,
What a great full week of learning tigers had! Next week In Math, students will solidify number sense to 10 and provide early work with facts to 10. Our writers will start writing small moment stories and working on stamina to write more across pages. We are using all we know about letter formation to write the names of our friends and loved ones. Please remember 1st graders should be reading everyday for 20-25 minutes then write about what they read in their Reading Response Notebooks. Looking forward to another week of growing together as readers, writers and mathematicians.
