The first grade students are focusing on addition and subtraction strategies within 10. They are learning to add and subtract the numbers 0 and 1 from various numbers and are practicing double facts. The first graders haverecently been introduced to the ARC Literacy Lab, where students are developing the routines of successful readers. In writing, the children are becoming cartographers, creating maps of their homes, neighborhoods, towns, states, and even the world. They are not only making these maps but also writing pieces about the places in their maps. 

The first grade had a fantastic time at the Fall Frenzy. We want to thank the PTA and the special area teachers for making the start of this school year so special!
