Hello First Grade Families,

We have been super busy all week. I wanted to highlight our math time. We have been learning how to work in math centers. Each student rotates through 4 centers during Math Centers every day. Every student has the opportunity to work on the computer on Starfall Math, Abcya Math or Johnnies Math Page. These are all available online for free! Also the students spend time building out math problems such as making groups of 10 or making partners or ordering numbers. The skills will become more involved as the year goes on. Also the students spend time working on skill practice such as addition, subtraction, data, numbering, ordering, making partners and so on. Lastly, the students write about what they know about math. This process allows the students to be creative and use content vocabulary to express their knowledge about math.
