Parent-teacher conferences were held on Monday and Tuesday. I really appreciate those that took the time out of their busy schedules and came in. THANK YOU!
We held our first reader's theater last week, with our story of the week Space Pup. The video is below. We talked about the fluency and expression of the readers. We were all impressed by the great job they did!
In math we finished up our unit 3 tests. You will see those come home today. The first graders did well on it! Monday we will start unit 4. Unit 4 will be about place value and numbers to 100. In this unit the students begin by counting tens: 10, 20, 30, 40, and so on. They just a 10 x 10 grid to help them "see" the relationship between the tens digit in a decade number and the number of tens it has. (See picture below).

Soon they will link 2-digit numbers to tens and extra ones. They will learn that a 2-digit number, such as 46, is made up of tens and ones, such as 40 and 6. Then they will use what they know about adding 1-digit numbers to add 2-digit numbers. (3+4=7, so 30+40=70).
Finally they will learn to regroup and count on to find a total. See picture below for example.

Right now, your owl friend may enjoy counting by tens for you. They may also enjoy using household items to make groups of ten and extra ones, and then telling you the total number.
Have a wonderful weekend!
