Morning Math

  Special reminder: Friday's Assembly will be held at 11am in the Gymnasium, and celebrates the learning that our grade 1s have been doing. 

  Please dress up as a Community Helper for our assembly, if you want to and if you can. A Community Helper is someone who helps our community, like: A Police Officer, a Waste Collector, a Farmer, a Store Owner, a Doctor, or anyone else you can think of. 

  See you on Friday!

  This week we started math centers as the first thing we do when we come into our classroom in the morning. We can choose between 4 different stations. 

  One station is for matching words, numbers, and dots together. 

  Another tests our addition by asking us "If I want to make 15 on a calculator, but the number 5 is broken, how else can I make it?" and similar questions. 

  One helps test or addition by using clothespins to count on a playing card.

  And our last station gets us sketching Ten Frames so we can practice looking at groups of 5 and 10.

  This has been a great way to warm up our brains in the morning, and get ready for more learning throughout the day.
