First Grade Newsletter- Week 8
October 9th
CLASS NEWS
First Grade Families,
It’s been an action-packed week of learning in first grade! Our classes worked hard uncovering the main idea and supporting details in their reading. We also took a thrilling deep dive into digraphs, and our students are absolutely rocking it! They’ve mastered /ch/, /ck/, /sh/, /wh/, /ph/, and /th/.
In math, the classes have been working so hard exploring addition and subtraction within 10. Next week, they’ll have the opportunity to show all they’ve learned on the End-of-Chapter 2 Test. We are so proud of all their hard work and growth.
Enjoy your long weekends & this beautiful weather,
Lilly Ray & Sandi Giusti
