Update January 4th

*On Tuesday, first grade will have School Store in the morning.  If students would like to bring back their coupon from my holiday gift to school, I will give them 50 cents to spend at School Store.  They can use this coupon once this year at any School Store.

*In Science, we will use a flashlight and different materials to explore how light goes through some fabrics and not through others.  We will also experiment with shining light on a mirror.  Last week, we talked about different sources of light.  Students began to write a story about being in a dark place and what tool they could use to create light.  We'll finish these books this week.

*In Math, we will continue to talk about place value and the value of numbers in the tens and ones place.  We've been working to exchange for a long (10 cubes put together) when we get 10 cubes.  We will also begin to use the symbols for greater than, less than and equal to when comparing two numbers or equations.  We will play a new game called Penny-Dime Exchange this week.  This is a game you can play at home.

This year we are using Seesaw to share and communicate with families! Your child will post to Seesaw to share their learning. I'll also use Seesaw to send you messages and reminders. Seesaw is private; you'll only see posts created by your child.
