Place Value is the name of the game!

In Math this week our First Graders have begun to study the important concept of place value.  They are learning how to compose and decompose a number based on 10s and 1s.  Using maniuplatives such as beans, bears, and Base 10 Blocks, the girls are exploring this concept with a hands-on approach. The girls are even using their bodies to count numbers from 1-100 in our own "Place Value Boot Camp"!

We are currently getting ready for two big holidays in First Grade!  Please check the note your daughter brought home yesterday for details about the Valentines Day and 100th Day projects that you all can work on together at home.  The girls are very excited about both holidays, and they have been chatting with each other about various suggestions for their 100th Day t-shirt designs.  Check out some great examples below:
