In math this week we really reinforced our understanding of fact families with making our fact family triangles and playing a game called "missing addends." This is a game you can play at home! There there are 2 "card keepers" who each have a card with a number on it (1-10), but they do not see their own number card. It is the audience's job to figure out the sum of the 2 cards and tell the card keepers. Once they know the sum, the card keepers try to figure out what number is on their card based on the number on the other card. The first graders were really excited about figuring out the missing addends!
This week I introduced a writing process poster to help students understand and work through the writing process (graphic organizer, journal, checklist, adult check). Students will move their name on the poster as they move through each step in the writing process. I am excited to see the first graders taking pride in their writing!
We learned about Cesar Chavez and Rosa Parks this week and added them to our biography journals!

Book clubs are back! We had to take a break while I completed the individual reading assessments with each student and I am really excited about all of the progress the first graders have made. As we continue to build reading fluency, our flexible book clubs will be changing.
