Elm Class Update
New Math Games
We learned two new math games this week.
We played 3 Towers of Ten with a math partner and worked on representing our math findings.
Heads and Tais
First graders also learned the game Heads and Tails. We sent home the directions in their blue folders on Friday so you can play at home as well.
Handwriting
We introduced PAF handwriting books this week. First graders practiced writing the letter "C".
Word Study
We are adding new activities in small word study groups each week. You can talk to your child about the word sorts they bring home.
Dramatic Play
We are using the big blocks in the dramatic play center to create scenes for our imaginative play.
November Family Conferences
We are looking forward to meeting with you all and discuss your child's progress in first grade.
We are available to meet with families on Thursday November 20th and Friday November 21st.
Your child's progress report will be available prior to your meeting. Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time so you can review the report before we meet.
There will be child care available for Compass students and siblings on Thursday and Friday from 12:00-6:00.
Please sign up for a time using our doodle poll.
Half Days this Week
Please note that Compass will dismiss at 12:00 on Thursday and Friday in order to make time to meet with families for conferences.
No School Next Week
Enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday with your family. We will see you back at Compass on Monday, December 1st.
