So Excited to See All of YOU!!

I am so excited to see all of you in Grade 1!!

Get ready to start our 'Home Reading Program' on the 1st day of school!  Our Goal:  to have 100% of us (20/20) read 100 levelled books by mid December!

Words we will be reviewing the  first week of school:
colour words - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, white, pink and black.

Math - Numeracy:  counting by 1's to 50; by 5's to 100 and by 10's to 100
    Goal:  to count by 2's to 30

          Data Management:  Gathering information and displaying it in a visual format
    (e.g., How many friends are in our class?  How many are boys/girls?  How many are from the green class/ red class?)

What are math manipulatives and which ones do we have in our classroom?  When do we use them and what do we do with them???  This will be one of our first big books coming to your home for a brief visit!!  Look for it and enjoy it with your child for a night - please return it along with a comment about what you thought about it!!
