My Project

My first grade students are excited to continue their learning to count all the way to 120 and improve their letter-sound correspondence and improve their writing skills.

Every morning, they will practice their number sense by using their black markers to write on their sheet protected worksheets as soon as they get in the classroom for Math warm-up.

Also, they will be using their bright yellow folders to take their assignments home and back to school.

Each student will use their pencil boxes to stay organized with all their crayons, scissors, pencils and markers.
