Word of the day: subtle

There will be a cookie sale tomorrow. Crack out those quarters!

The first graders are making great progress with counting. Several students counted to 100 by 1's, 5's and 10's today! As well, two students were able to correctly and independently print all the numbers to 100 - nice to report. We also began practising counting at random starting points - 68, 59, 87, etc. Most students were able to do this. Keep up that at-home practise! We'll soon be counting like champions!
We began solving Hallowe'en problems in math today, using manipulatives like rubber spiders, bats, pumpkins, etc. to introduce and reinforce the concepts of adding and subtracting. The students worked really well with this.


The first grade students will have their spelling test tomorrow. Study hard!
