Number Scrolls and Venn Diagrams

We had a busy day in first grade today!  In math we worked hard to complete number scrolls.  If you look closely, you can see that almost everyone used a different strategy when completing their scrolls.  Some students went by ones, some by 10's some by number pattern- it was really fun to learn from! 

We learned that once we get to 100, we weren't really sure exactlly how to write the numbers.  We will practice writing 3-digit numbers and looking at the number patterns and place value in our scrolls. 

Remember, it is cold, cold at recess.  Please be sure to pack your child with everything they need to be outside for 25 minutes at a time. Check out these first graders perfectly dressed for a wonderful time at recess:

In literacy we have been working to compare and contrast.  The first graders enjoyed trying it on their own today.

In writing we learned that every syllable in a word must have a vowel (or more!).  We are working to make sure that we have enough vowels in every word that we write.
