We are at our mid-week point and getting into the groove. Today we learned how to use a number line in math to help us solve some tricky addition problems. By turning our finger into a hopping frog, we can hop our way to correct answers! It was exciting to see the enthusiasm grow as the kids realized that the answers to tricky math problems were right at their fingertips. Encourage your child at home to use a number line to help solve math problems that may not be automatic to them yet. It is a great visual and this class responded very well to this helpful math tool!
Be sure you are praciticing sight words at home. We continue to work on list 5 this week. These first grade sight words continue to show up in our daily reading and directions and so your child's mastery of these words will bring them further success and confidence in the classroom. Thank you for your continued support at home!
We had a super-fun lunch bunch today! Hooray to all of my kids who have earned 100 stars and chose to celebrate with a lunch bunch.
Tomorrow is a "D" day, so don't forget your tennis shoes for PE!
