Swimming is on again tomorrow afternoon.
We talked about the King Midas fairy tale today and the students came up with some alternatives to a "Golden Touch". Their ideas were great! Stay tuned for a bulletin board display!
We kept the first graders' golden envelopes at school today, as we ran out of time to start a new story. We'll get back on track with this tomorrow.
Quite a few of the first graders can count to 100 perfectly now - by ones, twos, fives and tens. As well, almost everyone can correctly count backward from 20, can correctly plug missing numbers into a sequence like 64 __ 66, and can accurately read and print the numbers to 100, beginning at random points. Everyone demonstrates a good understanding of adding and subtracting concepts and can apply them in problem solving. We've even started counting money - tackling nickels has been our first job. This class is moving right along in the math department.
