I would also like to thank Susan Bodge and Angie Bleistein who gave many baseline spelling tests which determined the individualized spelling lists. *Students are working on the “fun facts” section of their animal reports.

First Grade Update KIDS DON’T FLOAT!-Thanks to all of you who have done Jobs For Jackets. So far you have raised over $100 to buy life jackets for the new Gig Harbor life jacket loaner station. That is truly kids helping kids! Literacy: Students are working on taking notes about their animal’s appearance, habitat and diet. They have learned “a picture is worth 1000 words” and have put this learning into practice by studying photographs of animals. Please ask your child to tell you what he/she has learned about their animal’s appearance, habitat, and diet. MATH: Students learned and played a variation of a familiar game, Five-in-a Row. In this version, they have 3 numbers and can cover the sum of any two. This game helps children practice adding single-digit numbers. While children are playing this game, I am noting how they are adding: Do they count all? Count on? Use knowledge of number combinations? Can they quickly add 1 or 2 to another number?
