Grade 1: Mrs. Nakia Browne

Please have your children ready for each day with 3 sharpened pencils, crayons or colored pencils and a goodnight's rest.  

As the school year is coming to end, the students will be working with words that have long vowel sounds. We are talking about the silent e and how it works as a team with the vowel sound allowing it to "say its name." Students will be practicing their spelling in class. Please reinforce this rule and practice at home. 

   MATH

We are working on our place value module.  Please continue reinforcing addition and substraction at home.  We are also introducing pennies and dimes as ways of representing tens and ones.  Practice exchanging groups of pennies (ones) with some dimes (tens).  Additionally , this week we are comparing quantities and numbers using the vocabulary: greater than , less than, and equal to.  We also compare using more than and less than.  As we continue our unit on place value, we are working with addition of double digit numbers and will move to subtraction soon.
