First Grade Flash
November 13, 2017 Welcome!
What a wonderful Veterans Day Assembly we had on Friday, November 10! Children were able to make real life connections to our study of American Symbols ! We have been learning about the flag, bald eagle, Statue of Liberty and Washington Monument.
We are beginning our unit on number sense. We have begun to develop understanding of what numbers mean, see relationships with numbers, and use this understanding in real world experiences.
We are continuing to build strong readers every day. Children have become very diligent about using their COPS strategy in all aspects of writing. Be sure to review this strategy with your child whenever you are writing sentences with him/her.
C—Did you use capitals correctly?
O—-Reread your sentence. Did you write the words in the correct order? Did you leave any out?
P—Did you use the correct punctuation?
S—Did you check your spelling and do your best?
REMINDERS!
