​​​We have ushered in the new year and the children are very excited about it! New birthdays! Ha ha. They were very excited to tell me about their holiday which transferred into them writing about it. Yay! I love to read their stories. We have a new student in grade 1! Welcome to Brookelynne!

Grade 1 has transitioned into working in small groups for math and they seem to like the new structure and all of the new games that we have to practice their skills. These groups allow me to work with two small groups every day. I think it is a wonderful way to work intensively on individual needs.

In writing we are working on expanding our stories to write more than 1 - 2 sentences as well as upper case letters to begin the sentence and ending punctuation.

We talked about what a noun is this week! Ask your child what a noun is and I bet they can tell you. We will expand to discovering verbs this week. 

I hope you have wonderful week!
