Second week in!

This week in reading, we have been learning how to pick good fit books (ask them to sing the i-pick song for you!).  I-pick stands for I choose, Purpose, Interest, Comprehend and Know.  In math we have been learning place value, working with tens and ones.  We are still working on handwriting and making sure our letters are being formed correctly as well as reviewing letters they learned in Kindergarten.  We have been having a lot of fun learning our new concepts and I can't wait to see their progress in a couple of weeks!  Keep practicing with them at home!

"I choose, not you, I choose my book!"

 "Purpose, purpose, why am I reading it?"

We have also earned 5 charms!  The students have been participating in class and have been so well behaved in line!  They are definitely showing that they know the ABC's of our school and the staff at our school is noticing!  I'm so proud of them for being such big first graders and you should be proud of them too!
