The first graders are off to a fantastic start! On September 30, they took a field trip to Living History Farms. There they learned about the ways people in the past met their needs. The children discovered that we still have many of the same needs as people living long ago, but the ways we meet those needs is definitely different in many ways. This experience was part of our social studies curriculum. A HUGE thank you to the parents who went with us to Living History Farms -Dawn Musgrove, Lynn Morse, and Christy Antoniou! We are very fortunate to have this great opportunity. We'd like to thank the PTA for providing the funds for us to go.
Meanwhile back at school, we are having a great time using our new math curriculum. The children are learning to solve addition problems in many ways. Finally, we would like to let the first-grade parents know that we will be beginning spelling homework the week of November 2. That may seem a long way off now, but time just keeps speeding along here in the busy first-grade classrooms! More information about spelling homework will be sent home by your child's classroom teacher.
