Another Busy
Week!
In math, we have been introduced to the penny and the nickel. We have
compared/contrasted these two coins as well as practiced counting money and
trading money!
In reading, we are finishing our 4th week of the Lead 21
Theme: Friends and Family. Next week we will begin “inquiry projects.” This is
a way that we will culminate our studies of “how friends and family are
connected to us.” Look for more information regarding these projects to come
home!
In addition to our Lead 21 unit, we have also incorporated one of our
social studies themes into studying “families and neighbors.” It has been fun
to discuss activities that we do with our families, but also traditions that
children of other cultures participate in!
Thank you to
parents, grandparents, and older siblings who have been working so hard with
our 1B students. Lots of math, reading, and writing homework have been coming
home over the past month! You are doing a great job of staying active in your
child’s education!
