News from Mrs. Garcia
We hope you had a restful, fun-filled and happy Winter Break. I can’t believe that here we are getting lesson plans ready for week 20! Report cards will be printed and sent home this week, please look for them in your child’s binder.
The week of before Winter Break we did a lot of review, assessing and reassessing in both first and second grade classes.
We are starting off the New Year with measuring. First grade will be ordering 3 objects by lengths, comparing the length of two objects as well as using non-standard units (cubes, paper clips and tiles) to measure lengths of different objects. We will also discuss (tall, taller, tallest) (short, shorter, shortest) and (long, longer, longest)!
