We had a fantastic 2nd week of first grade!
The students are getting more used to school every day and are figuring out the procedures and what to do. We practiced a lot more this week and are ready to jump into learning.
This week:
Reading: We learned all about Read to Self. We made an I-chart with what we need to do, as well as added hand gestures. Then - we started building stamina. Some days we did more than other days but as for today, we were able to do 12 minutes of Read to Self. Great job students!

| Look at them Reading so well!! |
We also learned some important reading strategies such as Check for Understanding, Back up and Reread, and Cross Checking.
Math: We learned what it means to work with a partner while playing a math game. We used our number lines on our desk to play a game with dice and a straw. We also used our whiteboards to answer some math questions. Today we used number cards to play Top It and worked on One more and One less of a number.
Students enjoyed some time on their whiteboard after the lesson!
Bible: We started with the very first story in the Bible: Creation! It was amazing to think that God created everything with only his word “Let there be light.” God is amazing!
