FIRST GRADE NEWS!!! Winter 2007-2008

Wow! This school year is flying by! Our First Graders have been working so hard over the past couple months. In reading, we have been working on reading comprehension, story elements and fluency. In writing, we have been focusing on conventions, ideas and organization. In math, we have been working on addition/subtraction strategies. Also, in science and social studies we have been focusing on the five senses, matter, historical figures and holidays.

Over the next couple months, we will continue to grow with our reading and writing. Also, we will be focusing on geometry, place value and numbers to 100 (gearing up for the 100 th day of school). Also, we will introduce timelines, map skills and the solar system.

Thank you so much for your continued support!

Love,

Mrs. Codey, Mrs. O’Meara, Mrs. Schiesl, Mrs. Townsend and Mrs. Ziegler
