Friday Fun

In math we have been working to add and subtract using a number grid and number line.  We've discussed that when we're adding, we move UP and that when we're subtracting we move DOWN.  We also realized that when you're adding, it's easiest to start at the higher number.  When subtracting though, you should always follow the number sentence exactly.  Look at Hailey, using her number grid to add and subtract:

 Trace and Tucker rolled dice, added them together, and tallied whether the number was odd or even

Avery, Summer and Gavin play Before & After

During literacy we continue to read, write, listen to reading, and practice word work.  Check out the first graders creations during Word Work:

 I think Ryan was hoping I would share my Hershey Kisses with him...

Avery wrote a whole sentence!

There also seems to be a new fashion trend in the first grade...

Have a great weekend!
