Many of the first graders have been writing stories and are excited to share them with the class. We have already had a couple of kiddos in the Author's chair. Some students have donated their books to the Room 112 library!
This week we practiced writing small moments stories. We have been working on answering our reader's questions by adding more details. We also had our second writing check-in this week for the students to showcase their great writing skills!
As we continue to work on addition and subtraction I am seeing students using many different strategies. They are getting familiar with the resources in the room and have been using number lines, manipulatives and counting up to help them solve math problems. Using these strategies is what helps build number sense and ultimately creates a strong foundation for more challenging math concepts. This week we really focused on using our number line to help us. I love seeing students make jumps on their name tag number line when we are doing math!
