Math Math is So Much Fun for Everyone!!

In math, we are working on developing a deeper understanding of the number 10.  Understanding and being able to work with the number 10 is a solid foundation one needs to become a first grade math wiz!!  This week we are creating and solving story problems about 10.  We are also learning different ways we can represent 10.  Three Towers was a fun game in which the students had to build 3 towers of 10 using a dice and colored cubes.  Students rolled a dice and took turns building that amount onto their tower.  They also needed to create an equation showing how their tower represented 10.  Take a look!

Getting Off to a Smart Start!

Our boys and girls in Room 2 have hit the ground running!  They are quickly learning the ins and outs of First Grade.  Take a look at some of the things we have been doing in our room.

Students are learning that good readers ask and answer questions as they read stories!!

Independent Reading occurs daily in first grade.  It is important the students know what it looks and sounds like.

The teacher and the student both have important jobs during a read aloud. 

There are many ways to read a book!!
