Class Update

Highlights of the Week in Room 1-2B

It has been so much fun to be in Ben’s class these last seven days! The students really miss,Ben, but have been so helpful and co-operative. We began a project that has been a great way to introduce classroom materials like markers, scissors, and glue, and to think and write about our ideas and expectations for the beginning of the year. Look for your child’s flip book,  First Day of First Grade or First Day of Second Grade

            We have read aloud many books, including non-fiction books about wolves, whales and bees, as well as several of Laura Numeroff’s series “If You Give a ----- a ----.  We look for details in the pictures that help tell the story, and talk about the circular pattern in all of the books.

            We began talking about Rumney CARES and how we want to treat each other in this class. Math has begun full force, with the first graders staying in this room and the second graders going to Ms. T’s room. We build staircases with the rods, play the “what’s missing” game, make tens with rods, play Which is Greater? With number cards, and Number Line Squeeze.

             I look forward to returning to Ben’s class later in the year.
