First Grade:  

April Reading-The students continue to sharpen their reading skills through UFLI and the Core5 Lexia program.  We just ended our lessons of words that follow the final -e rule.  Now we are learning to read longer words that end with -es, -ed, and -ing. Also, students continue to practice sight (heart) words.  

Math-The students practice their counting skills 20 and math fluency skills by counting on and adding to 20 by using different strategies.  We are focusing on math vocabulary, as well. For example, after, one more, two more, ten more, all together, before, one less, two less, ten less, many more, etc.  We continue to practice addition and subtraction to solve word problems.  Students will understand place values and that 2-digit numbers represent amounts of ones and tens.
