Last week in first grade:
- We started learning about nouns by creating Noun Town (where people, places and things live). We created an anchor chart on nouns.
- We continued working on where in the world we live. First graders are still a little confused about town, state and country. Have them tell you where in the world we live.
- We learned all about the different types of communities (rural, suburban, and urban)
This Week we will:
- Look at common, proper and possessive nouns and add to our Noun Town.
- Learn all about Verbs.
- Finish up our unit on where in the world we live.
- Write about what we are thankful for
- Our spelling pattern this week will be "unk" words.
Upcoming events:
- Thanksgiving holiday -- November 25-26 -- No School. Have a great break with friends and families.

Happy Monday,
We are continuing on with counting money this week. Your student should be able to use two strategies counting money: skip counting and counting on...these are the two strategies that we are working on in class.
This week we will also be introducing bills this week: $1.00, $5.00 and $10.00 dollar bills. Your child can also benefit from practicing counting small amounts of spare change at home. It gives your 1st grade real world practice with money.
