Good evening parents!! Happy Friday! I mentioned yesterday in my blog that an author is coming to St. Judes on November 26^th, 2013 at 10:00am. This will be a great experience for student. If parents would like to buy the book, it will be $10, and half the proceeds will be given back to the school. Hope everyone is excited for the weekend J Take a look at the day;

Math

Today in class, the grade 1’s will show me what they know so far from the unit. They will be comparing and looking at numbers. Students will work with a partner of their choice to build 12 in two different ways (they can use people, counters, drawings, etc). After this the students filled our a journal about this unit in their math work books. Then, as a class we went over the entire review, and students asked any question they had regarding the review. They will be studying off this sheet.
