Concord Flyer Tuesday

Today is Concord Flyer Tuesday which means your child will have multiple papers in their Take Home Folder. Don’t forget to check out the Scholastic Book Order! Remember, if you choose to order ONLINE instead of by paper, our classroom will receive FREE BOOKS!

If you have not already turned in the permission slip for Tennessee Theatre Company’s Production of The Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood on Monday, March 11, 2013 at E. Desmond Lee Concert Hall I sent another permission slip home with your child. Please sign and return by FRIDAY 9/14.

We had another marvelous morning with the laptops today! We still continue practicing logging on and getting familiar with the laptops. We spent our time exploring www.ABCYA.com. Check it out at home for educational activities for your First Grader!

During Read to Someone, we know it is important to quickly and quietly find a partner. We have been practicing silently raising a book in the air to let our classmates know, "I need a partner!"

We also know there might be a time when there is an uneven amount of First Graders who choose Read to Self during Daily 5, but we can make it work!

In Math we are learning about Order Property and Ways to Make 10. We defined Order Property in our Math Journals: the order of the addends does not change the sum: 3 + 4 = 7 and 4 + 3 = 7. We’ve also discovered the ELEVEN ways to make 10. Today we played a game with our Math Partners to practice all the ways to make 10. Ask your child if they can explain Order Property and give you three ways to make 10!

IMPORTANT REMINDER: TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 12) IS AN EARLY RELEASE DAY!
