Class promise, staircases, and more ...

This week we talked a lot about what it means to be a first grader in our room.  We are a family and we needed to have a discussion about how we will relate to each other within the confines of our group.  After our discussion, we made self-portraits and we signed our promise to each other.  Here is the finished product.  At the end we included a little inside-family joke.  Ask your child what it means! :o)





During math we used snap cubes to build staircases.  This is an activity where children build and order a set of cube towers from 1-12 and possibly higher.  They focus on counting and ordering quantities and linking them to written and spoken numbers.  It was a lot of fun!


Last but not least, I wanted to let you know about the Caldecott Kid reading promotion that FCE is starting.  Here is the link:  http://www.humbleisd.net/Page/30206.  I think this class would just soar with this type of challenge!  Have a great long weekend and don't forget to read!
