We had a great first day back to school!  The kids were full of hugs, stories, smiles, and energy -- perfect!  We jumped right into a busy week of learning.  


To engage your first grader this week and spark a conversation about what's going on at school, try asking about the following topics:


-New Year's resolutions (we each wrote 3 today)
-Our new chapter book (Charlotte's Web)
-Our Mystery Box (we followed the clues and found treats from Ghana)
-The candy canes that our class sent to Ghana (video can be seen at this link)
-Inferring in reading workshop (using our brains + the book = inferring!)
-Adding groups of 10's and 1's in math (ex: 90 = 9 tens, 22 = 2 tens and 2 ones)


Thank you for your continued partnership!  Your help at home is making a big impact on your child's success.
