SCIENCE:

This week we are synergizing with the other first grade classrooms on a engineering design project! Today we found out who will be in our group and which first grade classroom we will be working in during science time. We also got to pick our job for the project (timer, note taker, presenter starter, and sketcher). Be sure to ask your child all about it!

LEADER IN ME:

Today we created our classroom chart for our ST Math WIG for First Grade. Our goal before the end of the year is to reach 100%. Each week we will be checking in to see how we grow on our chart. If/when your child reaches 100% for first grade, he/she will get to move on to the Second Grade goal for ST Math!

We are also making headway on our Rocket Math Goals! Our celebration time is becoming a favorite time in the class. We clap and cheer on our friends as they make their way through the different levels for ST Math. Way to go, Cacioppo Crew!
