It was so nice to meet with all of you at conferences. I feel very lucky to work at a school with such supportive and caring families. I can't believe we only have one quarter left! As you can see, first grade is a very busy year. We have learned so much this year. First grade is important because we build the blocks for all future learning. Tomorrow we are starting double digit addition with regrouping in math! This is incredible and your children are doing so well. I have a link to a youtube video if you are unsure of how to help your child. This video will walk you through in three minutes how to help your child. Having your child use some kind of representation for the tens and ones if they are struggling with the concept will really help. (pretzel rods for tens and m&m's is one idea)
addition with regrouping. Here is another link to work out addition problems using online base ten blocks. Go to "Base Blocks Addition" and work out addition problems together:
Virtual Manipulatives.
This week in reading is a review week but I will test on last week's words (y endings). Remember, if you would like to volunteer, please let me know. The times are from 9:30-11:30 or 2:30-3:30 each day. We LOVE volunteers!
