Math: Lesson 9.6-- Use Think Central Website Animated Math Model Skill #41

First Grade News: We are reading many non-fiction stories about animals and discussing the main idea and details. In math, we are having fun estimating and measuring the length of objects using nonstandard items (color tiles, paper clips, etc.). We will also begin to learn how to tell time to the hour and half hour on an analog and digital clock. The Mega Math games have been added for Chapter 9 onto the Think Central website so when you log on to the website click on Things To Doand you will find the games that can be played to match the lessons in Chapter 9. These are for your child to use for extra practice and fun. In addition, the Go Math Standards Practice book has been added when you click on My Library. This contains the pages that we send home for homework. If your child is absent or forgets the homework folder you can open this book and print the pages for your child’s homework.

Reminders:

  • Save the date for the Author’s Tea for your child’s classroom. All Author’s Teas will be held in the library from 2:45-3:30.
