Classroom Happenings

Classroom News
Thank you to those parents who came out to our curriculum night on Thursday.  We really appreciate you coming out to hear all about first grade. 

In reading this week we talked about events in a story.  We did this by reading the story The Napping House.  We talked about all the different events in this story.  We then worked together by reading the story Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse and students placed the events in order with guided practice.  They recognized that stories have a beginning, middle, and end.  Thanks to our practice with setting and character students were also able to point this out while reading.

In math this week we worked on addition to 10.  We also had our first chapter test after lots of reviewing.  We are confident our students put forth their best effort.

Looking forward to learning about non-fiction text next week.  Have a wonderful weekend and a great week next week.
