Fabulous in First!
September 14th, 2018
General Information
Partnership Night will be next Thursday. The first grade presentation is from 5:30-5:55. We will be sharing with you the ins-and-outs of first grade and why it is so fabulous! We look forward to seeing you there. If you are unable to make it please let us know so that we can make arrangements to meet at a separate time.
Our Community
We spend our first month learning about what a family is and how our class will start to feel like family! We greet one another, say goodbye to one another, and wish one another well when they are away. We talk about how families support one another. Please help us support one of our class/school family members and come to The Great Cape Race 5k Run and Walk on September 30th at Independence Oaks.

Reading Workshop and Writing Workshop
Our first graders are learning about how students stay super glued and super focused. They are learning about what stamina is and how they can build up their stamina using different strategies. One way you can support your child at home is by taking them to the library! Students enjoy rereading books we've read together and finding old favorites.
Math Workshop
We have been thinking about what a mathematician is and what their characteristics are. We've been learning that mathematicians keep trying, work together (synergize), and use different math models. These qualities are so important to a growing mathematician! We also learned that mathematicians use different strategies to count!
