Five Senses with Popcorn!

The class enjoyed some yummy popcorn while learning about the 5 senses.  We heard the popping, smelled the buttery smell while it was cooking, felt the popcorn to describe how it felt, wrote about how it looked, and the best of all tasted the popcorn and recorded down butter, salty, and delicious. Thank you to the families who donated popcorn for this fun activity!

REFLEX MATH and iReady!

Reflex math is an excellent way to practice addition and subtraction facts in first grade.  At school students will rotate turns logging into this program daily.  I highly encourage you to use this at home as well if you haven't already done so.  The students love it and last year I was able to see noticeable math gains where students no longer had to use counters or fingers to solve quick addition or subtraction problems with 0-10.  Each student has their username and password glued into the front of their planners. Please let me know if you have any questions!  iReady is another program students will be able to use to practice reading and math lessons and skills.  iReady is currently not available for use yet so be looking for that login information in the near future.
