It has been awhile since I updated. I apologize for the lapse. We have just been very busy learning in first grade. In math we have been practicing addition strategies and subtraction strategies. Right now we are working on ways to make 10 and using doubles to add. In reading our unit has been about communities. The classroom discussions we have been having are so much fun.
I just cannot believe December is already here. The music program is next week, December 13th at 10am. We will be doing lots of Christmas activites with our learning this month as well. Look for a letter coming home soon about Gingerbread House Decorating!
As always, with December comes changes in weather. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the temperatures. We will go outside if the temp is above zero. Also, if it is snowy out, your child needs to have snowpants, boots, and gloves to be able to go into the grassy areas. Boots are a must for the gravel and equipment area. They have to stay on the blacktop if they are not prepared. This keeps them from getting cold and wet. Talk to you soon.
