Peek at the Week
Mrs. Bennett's First Grade News, Week 10 (10/26-10/30)
A Note From the Teacher
This week was full of new learning with Mrs. Stuart. She will be teaching next week as well. Students will learn about place value, making ten, reading with fluency and accuracy, writing a personal narrative, antonyms, singular and plural nouns, text and graphic features, maps, cardinal directions and Christopher Columbus. The Candy Corn Bandit may make an appearance and steal our candy corn next week. Shhh...it's a surprise and we will have a day to solve the mystery clues!
