Our Week in First Grade

The first graders started writing how-to teaching books this week. They are working on using order words and writing clear steps for others to follow.  

They brainstormed all the partners to 10 which are the 2 numbers that make a total of ten when added together (6+4, 7+3). The goal is for first graders to be fluent with all of these combinations by the end of the year. We practiced counting forward and backward starting at different numbers. We even practiced counting by tens off the decade. 

We reviewed how important farms are in our community and discussed farmers markets. We also made turkey crafts with our 3rd grade reading buddies at the end of the week.
