We recently celebrated our 100th Day of First Grade together and had so much fun counting to 100 through many exciting activities! The whole day was centered around hands-on ELA, Math, and Science opportunities. Some of our favorites were "Writing the Room" with 100 words, challenging ourselves to stack 100 small or large cups in teams, and using our imaginations to build the biggest "snow fort" we could out of 50 toothpicks and 50 mini-marshmallows. We really used our brains that day and made many fun memories with our classmates!
At home, please continue to help your child practice their addition and subtraction math facts. They are learning to count coins and tell time to the hour and half-hour, too, so these are also good ways to challenge your child each night.
Thank you for all your hard work with reading each night, too! The kids are really progressing and are very proud when they can return their books in the bag for new ones! Keep crossing your fingers for Spring to arrive with warm sunny days, too, so we can finally get outside again more at Recess!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gregory
