Mrs. Franklin's Fabulous Firsties
May 2016
Is it Spring Yet?
Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Aumiller were kind enough to invite our classes down to the cafe for some freeze dance Friday afternoon. We had a blast and we burned off some energy!
A Little Review
In math, we have been working hard on skip-counting by 2s, 4s, 5s, 10s and for a challenge 3s. The students are using a variety of strategies to solve problems that involve skip counting which include drawing pictures, writing number strings, using the 100s charts, and creating a T-chart. Some students have made the connection to multiplication. While we've shared this concept in class, they are not expected to write multiplication problems in first grade.
A Look Ahead
Next Friday is the JES Carnival. I hope to see you there!
