In culmination of our “Celebrate Day”, first graders have been reading wonderful stories that demonstrate each of the pillars of Character Counts: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, caring, citizenship, and fairness. Students are making connections with each of the pillars and writing how they have demonstrated the character traits in their own lives. These writing were shared with guests on “Celebrate Day”. It was a great opportunity to share what we have learned.
In math class, we have begun Unit 3 which teaches problem solving using addition and subtraction in story problems. This unit emphasizes that there are multiple ways to solve each problem.
As the weather begins to get colder, please remember to send warm clothing with your child. Mittens, hats, and heavy coats should be brought to school every day. Thank you for helping keep your child warm and toasty!
